Sounds like DairyCrest. Our new milkman is called Steve, I like him already and will certainly put a little something in his Christmas Box. I am surprised they don't sell full cream actually as I often nip to ASDA for a carton for our moulles marnier and end up buying all sorts of other crap. As a self confessed weirdo, I spent a good while trawling the http://dairycrest.com site and discovered that they originated from the old Milk Marketing Board, the one that used to make sure our farmers were kept afloat (clever, even by my high standards). Anyway, they are an ethical organisation who appear to be very philanthropic as opposed to the big chains who have succeeded in bending our farmers over a barrel in recent decades and royally shafting them. Although DairyCrest do sell to these global bastards Too, they do at least have a real focus on local communities; rural and urbanised. There's clearly more to that pints that you pour over your cornflakes than meets the eye. Where's all our resident anti-socialists (I'm on fire today) this morning? Come on you ******s, bring it on.

Stop press. Dairy Crest online have a deal on right now. Register and place first order by tomorrow, enter WEBMAY as a code when processing your order and get £10 off. Bargain IMO and our first delivery of FREE milk, crumpets, bread arrives on Wednesday. Get on it.

Deppo, stop being such a Fulish Kung

..and I come down this morning to make my angel a cup of tea, go to the fridge only to find a half eaten bowl of rice crispies on the side, drown in milk, open the fridge to discover just enough milk left for two cups of tea! Someone is gonna have to find a corner shop in a minute to replenish ready for our next cuppa, and it ain't gonna be me.

Ah proportion, you're alluding to artificial enhancement I think. That of course is another matter IMHO.

Sadoldgit, you are a sad old git. ;-) RnR which company mate, I'm gonna sign up. How do you decide how much and what days to have it delivered?

The body they are attached to is not what is under discussion I believe. huh On a side note my terriers supporting nephew sent me a joke today: She was only a Yorkshire milkmaid but she liked her udders feeled. I liked it.

For a while now me and mrs h have been toying with the idea of emPloying the services of a milkman. I've been told that in spite of the higher cost of said milk it is a tried and tested method in thriftiness as you're not lured into buying stuff you didn't know that you didn't want at the convenience store. Scientific analysis is used whereby cheap supermarket milk is a 'loss leader' which gets you through their doors and you proceed to buy an array of products placed on what are referred to as 'Gondola Ends'. You also spend more in petrol in one visit than you save on the milk. Not expecting a single response tbh.

There's some crazy law about the mention of adolph iirc. Ergo, this thread is now deaded.

In my educated opinion one's preference is usually determined by that of ones mothers bosom size. Just like bottle v breast argument, parental preferences are projected onto their siblings.

Any links to selling sites appreciated please. Not being lazy just that there's no point in me spending hours looking when you guys are more up to date with the best deals. End of the day i'll let mrs h have a play with a couple in a phone shop to see how she gets on and prob buy online.

You kids don't have a clue do you.

lol @ the crudity aimed at my angelic dil.

Multiple activities. Too many to list. It's primarily the dining hallmat a day centre, we're looking at new income streams, not to profiteer just to make ourselves more accountable and hopefully one day self sufficient. Tbh, it's probably not suited now you've explained your needs more but bear it in mind if ever you're really stuck. Btw, evenings and every/most weekends you'd have sole use probably with just myself as key-holder there.

I haven't forgotten this, just unforeseen delay in funds becoming available. They get some pretty cool results from what I have seen.

Mrs h is in love with my iPhone. Can't afford a new one for her so is their a (very) similar phone out there that does most of the same functions ie Facebook, messaging, email, photos, browsing, jewelquest etc. Touchscreen a must and portable for her payg contract?

I'm helping someone learn to text and need some useful a ronyms to program into their light-writer. Useful genuine timesavers preferred pls? Genuine post btw.

Pilch, is that a no to temp accommodation then mate? You might want to take a look at the venue I have in mind though, it's quite versatile, good parking, accessible and may be quite competitive price-wise.

Just following Deppo's posts gives me one and it's only a fiver per annus.

Well done DD. How you gonna celebrate? A nice cup of tea? Mrs h and me have done quite well cutting down since we got back from the nb binge last week. I've found that buying a nicer bottle of wine and discovering that they are not 'all the same' has led to lower alcohol intake and more sensible approach. I still can't walk past a hand-pump though, but I don't think that's an issue as I can only manage 3-4 at most anyway.

Trader, you're okay with my daughter in law making a bit of cash 'on the side' I take it. Cash IS king, in my book at every given opportunity.
-
Lol. So you'd rather pay them redundancy and unemployment than offer them new income streams which would make them less of a burden [sic] ? For way too long the outdated anti competition rules have stifled LG's abilities to become more accountable and compete in the free market. We can't have it all ways and I do accept yor point it's just that I am subject myself to some of the new 'visions' in my dept. and am genuinely excited at the prospect.

Also, my dil did some lovely oos's last year with tiny roses tied to them, can't remember what they cost but I'll ask her when she gets back from gunwharf later if you want?

Hangs County Council printing department. Good quality and unbeatable on price by a million miles. I could have a word with a contact who works there if you want or just look them up.
