Why do people do this?
 

I'm in a bad mood!!!

I have my milk delivered - too lazy to go to the shop! Its handy and its there when i get up - or so i thought. My milkman delivers to me on monday, wednesday and friday - he leaves double on fridays to see me through the weekend. Sometimes though he does only leave normal on friday and then delivers on saturdays - not often but he does from time to time. Anyway yesterday got up and went to bring the milk in - and no milk so thought oh he'll be leaving it saturday. I had enough anyway to keep me going. Today i got up and went to bring the milk in - no milk. Didnt have time to ring him up and so when i got back i rang him up. He told me he'd delivered yesterday - so someone has nicked my milk from my doorstep yesterday morning 2 pints. So thats why im in a bad mood. I may guess who it could be because i dont have many people coming to my door. But why should people nick milk off my doorstep - can they not afford the 35p well get it right - its 2 pints so 70p - from the shop if they are short of milk or the garage - mind you its more expensive from there.

maybe they were thirsty ?

I know its annoying but its probably kids having a laugh (well a laugh to them) when we used to have milk delivered it happened all the time I think thats why we stopped.

its a known fact that milk DOES NOT quench the thirst young man, it causes you to get crap on your chest (the nasty stuff you cough up)

Re: Why do people do this?
 

HEEHEE sorry jen but we used to do that when we were kids just to be mischevious pmsl!!!!!

Re: Why do people do this?
 

Even if they were chav - the shop opens across the road at 5.30am and its open to 9pm or the garage is open 24 hours a day.

I'd have 2 bus rides to get to morrisons flashy and then have to cart it back from Blackburn!

ya daft ******, you can buy it anywhere not just morrisons, th'asda do it, so do most corner shops ;)

Sorry for your frustration Jen, It's gotta be so annoying for ya. I agree with Grego probably kids goofing around.

Can you set up some type of quaint trap for them. I don't mean a bear trap with those pointy sticks at the bottom . . . Hmm, then again, would solve the problem but you might lose the mailman and milkman also but I digress.

I was thinking stringy bells or empty cans across your walkway. Something that'll scare the bejesus out of em. Can you borrow a "pitbull" type of dog?:D For added significance, when the trap is rattled, shoot the little buggers in the butt with a bb gun.:D

Hope I gotcha to smile a little bit? No use crying over loss milk!

Its a service that is as rare as rocking horse poo is a milk delivery service round here. I have 2 Spar stores within 10 mins of me and the local shop is 2 mins away. Kids may think its fun but at the end of the day its still theft.

Duncan are you saying that you never did this as a kid, I know I did once or twice, just thought it was funny, of course now I'm grown up;) I dont see the funny side at all.

Re: Why do people do this?
 

I had a little job delivering milk so getting milk wasnt a problem. :p

I didnt drink a lot of milk as a kid but now I proberly drink to much. :o

Re: Why do people do this?
 

Just thinking of milk being delivered in bottles brings back memories. I believe we had our last deliveries when I was a kid up un New England. That was probably around 1965ish.

Other USers please correct me but I don't know of anywhere that milk is still delivered like that.

I could see my big brother and his friends nicking a bottle or two from neighbors and putting em in there mailbox. So there was mischief and annoyance for the home owner but even they probably had a giggle out of it.

Now the wicked witch old lady who lived next door. Not sure they'd a been that nice about it.:rolleyes:

One of my neighbours still gets milk delivered in bottles, old style milk float as well.
