Milk

[LEONARD]

My Ned Kelly is not what it once was.

Sadly it's Lactose free for me these days.

How I miss that Channel Island gold top stuff, lovely on the Weetabix in the morning.

Still ongoing then. I’d have thought the NFU would be campaigning hard on this. Gonna just be left with big, industrial dairy farms. A few near me have done ok by diversifying into making their own ice cream etc.

Dairy farms aren't the problem, worry about the supermarkets.
Using milk as a 'Loss Leader' in market share battles with rivals, but passing that 'Loss' to the farmers in the form of lower prices at the cowshed, until farmers leave dairy production, for something else...and theres only room for so many niche market wasarbi growers or whatever or just walking away from farming all together.
Here in Australia there are, were, only 2 big supermarkets and they did it and up to a point are still doing it to milk, bread, canned goods, veg, meat anything they can.

thank god for ALDI who came in and kicked their arses and do, up to a point keep them honest...well honest-er than they were.

Blue milk = I don’t care about my health.

Green milk = Fence sitting odd ball.

Red milk = Weight watching 30+ year old.

I’ve worked my way down this list and now on red skimmed milk. Jesus.

​

No 'Steri Milk' option? I remember the glass bottle sterilised milk came in was so thick you could beat a Rhino to death with it.

I don't drink milk that often, so I go for the full hit (blue) when I do have it.

We get oat milk and semi from our milkman. Oat milk is really nice and great in coffee and on cereal. Best of all the milks for the environment too.

Milkmen seem to be making a comeback too. Good solid pillars of the community. Keeping an eye out for lonely housewives everywhere.

Is it true that the majority of adult humans are lactose intolerant and cannot drink milk?

Further south in the hemisphere the more lactose intolerance although it can vary in countries in Africa which I can't be bothering to explain. We generalise that people from India smell of curry, Chinese people smell of cabbage or French of onions, they reckon us Brits smell of stale cheese.

Semi skinned for tea and cereal, full fat for sauces batters etc.

Maggie stole my milk as a kid so I refuse to drink it now in protest at the heartless Tory bar stewards

I wonder how many times they did that scene...she puts the flowers down, gives him a kiss, Granville drops the 2 milk bottles and she catches them.

The only milk I have is oat milk in my matcha lattes.

 

[Bungle]

Full fat chocolate milk on my cereal every day. I'm 40 and dgaf. Fight me.

Make tea with full fat white, using anything else should lead to punishment.

Honestly one of the few on here I didnt have down as a nonce until now.

Honestly love to see how small this list is and the names on it.

Cheers. I need to eat cereal (shredded wheat) so I can keep my crappy diet and still manage to poop, since you were wondering. The chocolate milk makes the shredded wheat almost food.
