They would wait, then move on down the street by themselves to the next stop and wait for the milkman to return with his empty carrier.<BR/><BR/>Being horse crazy I would go through the budgie's seed mixture and collect the whole oats, saving them in a Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26685099.post-32388728638250613822008-05-18T20:48:00.000+01:002008-05-18T20:48:00.000+01:00Oh yes, for me the sound of the electric milk floa...Oh yes, for me the sound of the electric milk float and the clunk of the bottles is quintessentially English.

We used to get our milk delivered - its been so long...and MAN that milk was good!! <BR/><BR/>Not to mention, there was always someplace to leave things for each other - "oh, put it in the milk box!" - now - if anyone puts something in your mail box - the mailman takes it regardless if he was supposed to or not!!
