I was shocked when I went to the shop this morning for a bottle of MILK

Morrisons 6 pt bottles were £1.60 but have now jumped to £1.89

When did we stop using "pints"?

What's funny is the corner shop has a tatty hand written poster in the window which reads "4 Pint Milk £1" but when you go in they are actually 2 litre bottles. 

The other day I noticed in my local, town centre, Lidl that some of the milk was now in 2 litre bottles and the price still as for 4 pints - but the shelf-edge labels still gave the price per litre as if they were 4 pint bottles.  

I suppose that they are moving to selling in whole litres rather than whole pints and the two sizes were because of different dates for the whole milk and semi-skimmed etc.  Eventually they'll get the labels in line - though their maths is sometimes in want of correction (thinking of nutritional tables).

Tesco 4 pints is now £1.29. (yesterday)
What I cannot understand is that it has recently risen to that price from £1.15, during which time their 500g low-fat natural yoghurt, made with Britsh milk, has remained at a constant 45p. It does not make sense!

I get milk delivered direct from a local farm 3 times a week. It costs £1.25/litre or £0.68/pint. 

Yes, its more expensive than from any of the shops but all the money goes to the farm, there are no middle-men / brokers / supermarkets taking their cut, the food miles are much less than milk from any other source (the farm is only 5 miles away), they sell full-fat, semi-skimmed or skimmed but probably most importantly of all - it tastes so much better than the milk from the shops.  

Do you really think it tastes better/different?
I get that BOB milk, that’s about £2 for 2 litres.

Apparently we're going to bring back the good old British pint!

No more of that continental litres rubbish.

Which only the older generations "get". I'm in my fifth decade on this earth and I was taught metric measurements, not imperial. I only know of imperial measurements due to my parents refusing to use "that continental rubbish". My children don't use imperial measurements at all.

Imperial measures

We're still buying a 1lb jar of jam and often sausages in 1lb packaging.

Who can envisage the size of a gram or the length of a mm.

We still compare weight to 2lb bag of sugar even though it's now 10% heavier.

A reasonably price milk man would be nice but they have been out priced by the supermarkets.

Who cares ?

People look at what the volume of jam is in a jar, and the number of sausages in a pack, not how much they weigh.

I can't believe with everything that's going on in the world today, that our government seriosuly considers this an issue to be wasting any trime on at all.,...
