First irritation of the day... the milkman has left me four pints of bog-standard semi-skimmed in bottles instead of my usual four cartons of organic. Now, bottles may be more environmentally friendly (Hunty will correct me if I'm wrong, won't you?) but they're taking up half the frelling fridge! Four pints is a week's worth - I usually get it on Monday and freeze three of them. Will they even last a week in the fridge?
*sigh*
You try and support traditional milk delivery (a dying concept in the UK since the invention of the superstore) and this is what you get. I am surrounded by incompetence...

It can go either way. Milkmen are mostly incompetent, which is why they've died out. I have no sympathy for them.
I'd have thought bottles took up less space than square cartons though?

I mainly went with delivered milk on account of having no car. Asda isn't a long walk away from here, but a four-pint carton weighs a lot to lug home... besides, I'll always support small businesses over giant multinationals on principle. Spike's beef bones all come from an excellent old-fashioned butcher, and he only charges me 40p for a week's worth - how much commercial dogfood could I get for that? (Not that he'd eat it anyway, the picky sod...)

And for the record, I prefer milk in bags first, cartons second, bottles last. ;)
