How about a battery powered milk float to deliver milk? And how about delivering milk in glass bottles which can be cleaned and re-used? No more lugging quarts of milk in plastic containers which feck up the environment and swell the coffers of the mighty supermarkets.. You could even deliver eggs in cardboard trays and brown paper bags and perhaps orange juice. There could be independent small dairies which would provide lots of employment. Nah, never catch on.

A lad from my old town (claim to fame, he has the biggest collection of milk bottles in Britain….yeah, I know !) actually started his own firm and went out and did that.

Couldn’t make it work mate, too many exes, not enough money in it…..just sold all his milk bottles to an orange juice company the other week. 
He gave it a right good go, cost him thousands to set it up.

What is about men and geekiness?. I have a mate who collects bricks ! When I'm walking along the shoreline I often come across bricks swept along and beached on the strong tidal currents. I take them to him and he can't thank me enough. Some are eroded by years being tossed around in the sea, but he can still their make out where they were made.

Funny enough,  when I look at this collection and he tells me where they were originated from , it is interesting. I'll get my coat.

Another advert that sends my blood pressure off the scale is for “Eco Coal” for your wood burner. They proudly tell you that their coal is made with “organic content” ! For fucks sake ! ALL coal is organic ! It couldn’t be more organic, it’s made from trees !

I looked that stuff up Home something or other have you seen the price of it shocking.

4:45 my alarm used to go . 
 

12 I was  up outta bed , on the float by 5 , off by 0630 , paper up at 0645 , delivered by 0715 , used to run them , sometimes with a dog by my side , Sundays were killers as no milk only papers . Collections Friday 1530 onwards . 
30 bar a week , mainly gambled on the the greyhounds on a Friday at Gretna , and then beating Saturday 25 quid a day 

Sometimes when they hear the clink of glass I feel them milk bottles , three  in each hand , good crack
