Milkmen/women have seen a dramatic increase in business with people getting their milk, juice, eggs and bread delivered direct to their door, and with the recent resurgence of the electric milk float courtesy of tesla do we think that ye olde services from the past will make a comeback on a more permanent basis?

I hope so, I miss things like milkmen/women etc.

Leave an extra pint

Delivery in glass bottles was also coming back because of the recent backlash against plastic.

Hopefully as we become more reliant on the local independent shops, they will build up customer loyalty which will continue long after this is over.

Never officially went away but I cant remember the last time I saw a milkman and wouldn't even know who my local one is.

“ His name was Ernie

And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west

Now Ernie loved a widow

A lady known as Sue

She lived all alone in Linley Lane

At number twenty two

They said she was too good for him

She was haughty, proud and chic

But Ernie got his cocoa there

Three times every week”

I can see milk deliveries making a comeback more so until this Virus ends, if it does but then the much higher pint costs will bite and people will cancel and go back to buying their own from the shops.

Last time we used a "milkman" the price was £1 for 2 litres in the local shop but £1.89 from the milkman, even higher difference for eggs etc and the monthly invoice price started to feel quite high plus I also ended up walking even less to the shop to grab some so that was worse too.

My local butchers has seen an upturn in business.

I'm hoping after this people use the smaller shops more instead of being too reliant on super markets.
