Do some of you older ones remember the coloured bottle tops on milk? There was Jersey milk with a gold-coloured top, a very rich golden-creamy milk, then mauve-top which was homogenized, red-top, but cannot remember what this was called. Then the ordinary milk. I used to help the milkman, or rather milklady, so used to handle these bottles of milk. Sometimes I'd get to the top of a block of flats with a crate of milk and I'd get sent down for a packet of butter or suchlike. They had no lifts in these particular blocks of flats. What we did to earn a penny or two! |

Sylvia, when i was young, I too helped the milkman, and as you say many buildings didnt have lifts, and when i reached the top, sometimes i was so out of breath, that my eyes were not steady at all, in fact i used to see milk bottles, at eye level. Some were sterilised, and others were "past yer eyes" milk Bob |
