Why don't English (speaking) folk ask for a milk coffee ? We don't walk into a shop and ask for a pint of latte please..

If I was in Italy and trying (likely failing) to speak Italian I might ask

Because a milky coffee is called a Latte. We use foreign words all the time for different things.

You would have a hard time communicating if you only ever used English origin words

I’m less concerned about that than when they ask for a tall, medio or grande or whatever!

I go in and ask for a small, medium or large.

How would you ask for pizza, mozzerella, pecorino or tagliatelle using the English language?

If this is the greatest concern you have, then you're doing alright. Most words originate from other languages and their variants anyway. How would you ask for food in restaurants which isn't English?

as a lad growing up you asked for a milky coffee if you wanted a coffee made with milk rather than water.. latte seems to have been introduced fairly recently..

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term caffè latte was first used in English in 1867 by William Dean Howells in his essay "Italian Journeys".

I guess that's recent when compared to the Jurassic era

Lingerie sounds much more seductive than apple catchers and boulder holders.

Yes!

And the different chains use different terminology. Bloody irritating!

But I have nearly finished my transition, into a grumpy old man!

Steady there, mate. Less of the spaghetti and more of the shoe lace shaped carbohydrate

How about "harvest festivals"?

If you asked for a latte in Italy you would literally get a glass of milk.
