I was waiting for someone to say that! :D :D They got their milk in glass bottles, not cartons (my brother told me :D). But then, I suppose you kids wouldn't remember glass bottles, unless you live down here where they still use them. ;-) |

When I was in the States, they got them in cartons... but that's now, not then :) > But then, I suppose you kids wouldn't remember glass > bottles, unless you live down here where they still > use them. ;-) I'm not that young!

| 83310 | 2002-09-27 08:31:00 | When I was a littlie in South Wales our house milk was delivered by horse & cart. From Churns, with a Dipper into your own Jugs. Real cows milk this stuff. Incidently we also had a "Night Cart" to collect the "Phew know what". I am pretty sure it was a different cart!!. Poppa John :) |

And did you put rocks under the cart wheels to prevent it moving off after each house visit, Poppa? My hubby used to (he lived in a "backwash" when he was young) and when the horse tried to move off it would take a few steps, halt, take a few steps, halt, and so on, until the cart's contents started to slosh over top . . . . . Meanwhile, several little boys hiding behind the bushes would be rolling around in hysterics . |

| 83312 | 2002-09-27 08:45:00 | Susan B. I couldn't possibly do that I was far too Innocent!! Poppa John :D | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 83313 | 2002-09-27 08:50:00 | So that means you did. :D Actually, the cart didn't have a horse, it was a truck. Silly me. :8} |

| 83314 | 2002-09-27 09:00:00 | Susan B I don' see a double negative there!! No. P J We had a two horse team (2HP?) Followed by a truck, which couldn't get up the hill. The truck needed a driver, the horses worked by whistle (like sheepdogs). One whistle & it/they walked forward so many paces & stopped. We ate the horses but you couldn't eat a truck!!! Poppa John |

| 83315 | 2002-09-27 09:02:00 | In the small west coast village of Milleton, where i used to live in before CHCH, they still got those things, even today! Theres no pick up and delivery service though, your sposed to the can in the back of the 'olden, and take it to the creek that dumps it in the Ngakawau river yerself... Most people defy the councill and bury it. O yeah when i lived there milk was something ya got from the cow up the road, or my goat. None of this fancy carton muck! |
