LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME - 2022

There's a simple solution for the rubbishy Christmas cracker problem Buy a box of decent, wrapped chocolates, carefully undo one end of cracker, insert choccie, then close up cracker. In the days when I was flush, I used to buy tiny, useful genuine presents to insert, but you have to make sure that the guests sit where planned

 

About 6months ago I started having milk delivered, but still bought a couple of bottles a week in the supermarket.
Anyway I found it didn't seem to keep very well, and if not used immediately it went sour, they only delivered 2 days a week and the bottle tops were always stamped with a use by date of at least 5 days.

I thrown my last two bottles away and cancelled my order now, after complaining on two other occasions.

Has anyone else found that milk in the old glass bottles doesn't last as long as the stuff in the plastic bottles.
Or is this place not sterilising the bottles correctly.

 

You don't get milk in bottles here. We buy long life in cartons (I can hear you cringe). I don't use it in tea and rarely have coffee when I have a milky one (coffee in a glass here, Galaõ). I use off or unused milk in the garden. specifically at the base of my Sunseeker rose.

Using Milk for Plant Care

Sorry I didn't answer your question.

 

On some farms the milk can be 2 days old before tanker collcets it. big farms can have milk collocted every day as there can't store the milk but some farms can as they have bigger tanks to take 2 days of milk, the milk tanker will take the milks temp to make sure it's at the right temp but if it's to high the tanker will not take it(the test is taken out of the driver hands now), what i would like to know if that happerns what happerns to it, does farmer put it down drain or cool it to the right temp and send it on

I have had milk form the supermarket (in plastic) and it's gone off before the use by date

We have a farm that you can by milk from a vending machine not far away, but the cows are milk on another farm so the milk will have to be transpoted the where the vending machine is but i won't be buying any milk from there as it doesn't look good and being that i've been on/off farms for most of my life (lorry driving) i've got to know a lot of what goes on

Pete, were you getting it from the local milkman or a farmer that set up bottling and selling milk to the public?

 

Mine was an existing milk round but he knocked on the door one day and asked if I was interested.
I said I would and he has delivered on time, but he only comes 2 days a week?
I've never seen his float or him since the first day, he delivers in the middle of the night.

So I said 2 pints on each day and the rest I will get with my shopping.

But this stuff is smelling sour even on the day its delivered, but useable.
After three days its gone off and goes lumpy in tea or coffee.

Its semi skimmed, not had the real thing in years.

 

It may be that it's in and out of fridges from one day to the next what don't sell today get put out for tomorrow
does the milk that don't sell in shops get returned (clos to use by date) and repaked into bottles for door step's

I don't know but could see thing happening

 

It comes from a local dairy Jiffy.
I cant imagine that supermarket, out of date, milk gets resold.
