And there it was.
Taking an early morning run (for once I managed to get up early), I headed down the Coventry Road.
It was 8.04am. I was lost in my own thoughts thinking about what I’d got on for the day, when there it was. The milk float!
Now forgive me if I’m wrong but when I was a kid, the milkman was tucked up in bed by 8am having delivered the milk on his round by sunrise. Well it was by 4am if I remember our Unigate milkman in his white coat and flat cap. His name escapes me but that’s just the menopause playing the memory game again. As I approached, the unmistakeable sound of a diesel engine could be heard. It made me chuckle to think that I’d only posted about hydrogen powered milk floats a few days ago.
Milk & More was the company delivering the milk…….and yes more. I could see orange juice…..in glass bottles and other breakfast items including bread. If you ordered before 9pm it would be delivered by 7am now that’s not bad. But does this make us lazy?
With levels of obesity at a record high surely a walk to the shop in the morning is better for you? A discussion for another time maybe.
Now time for a rant and I’m sure most of my biker friends would agree, if not tell me why. So today has been around 30°C. Few bikes have been out. But of those I’ve seen they clearly do not value their own skin or that of their pillion. Shorts, t-shirts and flip flops……but they’re wearing a helmet! Really, COME ON! If it’s too hot to put on the bike gear it’s too hot to ride. IDIOTS!
So as I open the fizz I’ll leave you with this classic which will be buzzing around your head for the next few days 🤣
