I think that all went the way of the DoDo, along with delivered groceries. I mean...the kind that you used to get from the local grocer, not a supermarket. Sigh.

In the (cough,cough)early 50's I can remember our milkman delivered loose milk. You had to jug ready for him to pour the milk he measured out from a churn. He came round using a horse and cart. He retired when legislation was passed that said milk must be sold in bottles. Having deliveries of groceries was not a thing because there many grocery stores within 200yds of where we lived. The only other thing we had delivered was coal, loose by the ton. My father was a miner. It was part of his pay.
