I remember always getting it delivered, we started getting it again recently found a company that does local milk delivery and it feels so nostalgic! but yeah something about glass bottles makes it so much betterWe had milk delivered in glass bottles too. There was a form to fill in if you wanted other stuff than your usual delivery. I remember my mum skimming the cream off the top of the milk in those bottles. What I don't remember is the bottles freezing open. I grew up in SoCal and it just never got cold enough for the milk to freeze.
Their horses had long legs, covered a lot of miles. And they had sails between their ears to cross the Great Lakes.I'm amazed that an east coast company in USA delivers to London!
1956 or '57, Flying in the Company Plane with about 6 or 8 executives. I was about 12, I was the only girl on board and they let me carry their drinks to their seats for them. We hit an air pocket and the bottom dropped out from under me. I never spilt a drop but I think the shocked look on my face had them all rushing to re-assure me about what it was. So I just finished serving then all their drinks. I felt like Vicki Barr, Flight Stewardess!I was a senior in high school when I had my first flight. It was really exciting and was booked through the school. We all dressed nicely and were on our best behavior. Yes, ma'am. No, ma'am. Please and thank you. The co-pilot made a lot of trips into the cabin to be friendly. We were very flattered until he asked where we would be staying. Our chaperones were not amused.
Not ours, but many of the houses had these little doors, near the back door. The milkman would set the milk (etc) inside that little door.@adamsmith1989 Welcome to DC! My dad was a milkman back in the day and delivered milk to all of my friends.
Our milkman came right through the backdoor, kissed Momma and placed milk in the fridge.Not ours, but many of the houses had these little doors, near the back door. The milkman would set the milk (etc) inside that little door.
I remember when the front door was for strangers only. Friends all went to the backdoor.Our milkman came right through the backdoor, kissed Momma and placed milk in the fridge.
Two of our houses had those and grandma's did too! And the milk wagon was delivered by horse drawn carriage. He often had to warn me not to let the horse step on my feet. Although if the horse had, my mom would have been angry with me - and no sympathy - not angry with the milkman!Not ours, but many of the houses had these little doors, near the back door.

Yup, Ed Sullivan was always on Sunday night. But about 10 yrs later Bonanza was always on a Saturday night.Yep, I remember when the Ed Sullivan show was 8:00 on a Sunday night, followed by Bonanza.
True, very true!I remember when the front door was for strangers only. Friends all went to the backdoor.
