I didn't ask, when I get my bill next week I will let you know.

Well?? How much per aliquot?? :rotfl:

Sorry to be impatient but I'm rather excited by the prospect of organic milk delivered in glass bottles :rotfl:

It was £4.18 for 2 weeks I have 4 bottles per week. So I think that's £52p per pint.

Thanks for that :beer: As I can take a detour to get to Morrisons on my way home I may as well continue buying their carton milk.

Oh someone said that the cartons may be plasticised... they are actually waxed cartons and they can be recycled by sending to a freepost address as local authorities still don't have facilities for this. :rolleyes:

If the address for recycling the TetraPaks is a company based in Fife, I think they may have closed down

Have finally decided to go for milk in glass bottles. It's going to cost 65p a pint which is a lot especially as we get through 20 bottles a week! We have stopped having a daily paper to balance out some of the cost. After wataching the program on plastic going to China to be recycled I decided I had to do something. Good thing is the kids are excited about this and understand why we are doing it too.

hurray - i asked for this from my local milkman 2 years ago (they supplied rachel's in card boxes) and no response from the dairy, so decided to change from milkman to supermarket.

now i can change back with a clear conciense.

: )

thanks for the postings!!

for those of you saying your milk goes off etc - you can freeze all milk except skimmed if that's any help - perhaps not great in a glass milk bottle but we freeze both Rachels cartons and the plastic ones.

First 6 pints arrived on the doorstep today, very exciting - guess what colour the foil tops are? I can remember the red/silver and gold from childhood.

I've been having organic milk delivered by our Dairy Crest milkman for a few years and was overjoyed when they switched to glass bottle just before Christmas! :j

Milk seems to taste so much better from a bottle.
