Looks like I won't be getting milk in glass bottles much longer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-29306822
Are the glass bottles all 1 pint, as they were back in the days when 'everyone' had their milk delivered? (at least, I remember multiple 1-pint bottles, no 2-pints) It seems to me that the change to supermarket milk and plastic bottles accompanied a move to larger containers - and I'm wondering if that hasn't also encouraged us to use more milk?
I presume that's almond milk as in soya milk but from almonds, rather than cow milk flavoured with almonds? The latter is a popular drink (mainly) for kids in India, sort of like hot chocolate for a warm climate I guess. I now have visions of the mobile coffee wallah's face when you buy a coffee and a badam milk then mix them...

Such a treat!
I blame Thatcher.

Such a treat!It's at least a couple of years since our milkman switched from glass to plastic. Whether or not plastic bottles are "just as environmentally friendly" now, it's still more rubbish to be disposed of, taking up valuable bin space - which I probably wouldn't mind so much if the binmen hadn't switched from weekly to fortnightly collections a few years ago.
