We used to have a milkman. He was really sound. If he heard somebody had died in the area he would call to the house with about a dozen free cartons of milk, whether they were his customers or not. Because he knew there would be lots of callers to sympathise with the family.

Its little thoughtful gestures like that, that I really like about Ireland.

No I don't. Where did they go? It was so handy

I Had Coco pops with avonmore for 2 weeks when we ran out of avonmore we bought lidl milk (had to do till the milkman came) i taught the milk was gone off from lidl it wasnt. the avonmore milk is so much fresher

No need for a milk man when you can just express yourself.

I never had one.
I see them about if I happen to wake up at 6am or so.
Is there a point in getting one?
I never considered it before.

No, my area is too disadvantaged. A milkman wouldn't last a week here.

mine isnt a rip off IMO. we get 2 cartons of 2l avonmore milk monday wensday and friday its their before we get up. The bill every thursday is 13.75. which is resonable as that is his profit and petrol for the van

Milfmen down our way, not milkmen

Not for a couple of years now, my husband did not like the idea that the Milkman used to come in my back door when he was at work. His clotted cream was something to savour

4 x 2lts = 4 x €1.50 = €6.00

Your milkman is making a huge profit.

I'll stick to Lidl's/Aldis/Supermarket own brands, thanks.

mikemac1

They're get 6 every week, not 4

Monday, Wednesday, Friday

BeerWolf

There's one round me area, stopped using him though since there's fewer people staying at the house now so milk doesn't go as fast. So I only get when I need to restock.

There's also a breadman doing his rounds here, nice cakes too, stopped with for same reason as above.

its 6 and in the shop 2l avonmore is about 2 euro so thats 12
we pay 13.75 but id rather pay that 1.75 extra get it delivered to my door and have nice milk cause the lidl/aldi own brand is muck in comparison
