for over one hundred years, milk has been delivered to the door of customers all over the uk.
now in 2011, someone has decided that on the foil of the milk bottle lid the use by date should be embossed.
thank you dairy crest. how did we manage?
the local wilko store and others will only allow a maximum of 3 paracetamol type products for each customer.
is that just in case the shopping experience becomes so overwhelming we decide to top ourselves in the queue?

It`s ironic that the same stores would allow unlimited purchase of (a certain combustible product) which would be an assuredly-lethal and rapid means of inducing self-demise. :-X

The sad sad pen pushing cretins who make these decisions really are pathetic.
I don't know how much they get paid but it's too much :D

so you just go from store to store until you get what you want then

....
many many years ago there was a letter embossed on the foil to denote the day, too long ago now for me to remember what letter was what day.
Up till last year we used to have green top milk ('raw' milk straight from the cow ie not a silver topped pasturised) delivered to the door, but because it's already been banned in Scotland due to the EU Nanny State, my milk man made the decision to stop delivering it before he was told to.

you talking about red top of the kind you get at Tesco/Asda etc That's fully skimmed p***water homogenised milk same as the blue top full fat & green semi-skimmed, again both are homogenised.
The green I'm taking about is, as I say, straight from the cow, like the Jersey Gold top is and isn't messed about with. :y

Sorry Mike, I can't say I've ever heard of or seen red top.
Having Googled it though ;) it was full fat but homgenised. :y

Blue and silver checkered foil - skimmed milk (0.1 to 0.3% fat)
Green foil - raw (unpasteurized) milk, giving rise to the name "green-top milk"
