Re: cream on top of the milk

I always thought wazzy meant watery. It may well have been used as a crude slang term for going to the loo but I think that derives from 'passing water' being a more refined way of putting it.

Anyway, back to milk. I prefer semi-skimmed and buy the UHT stuff because it's easier not to run out when you can buy it in bulk. I gave up on the milk man years ago when it kept being delivered after I'd gone to work and would be there on the doorstep all day. I do get a small amount of full cream milk for my kefir thingy which is multiplying at an alarming rate!!

I can drink semi-skimmed on its own but full cream is too sickly to me. Skimmed is just too watery.

We used to get sterilized in those tall bottles with the metal caps and my Dad made a stopper to go in the bottle once the cap had been removed. He was a centre lathe turner and he made this lovely thing on his lathe at work. We kept milk on a stone shelf in the pantry back in those olden days.
