no nothing of a sexual nature, but the t*** milkman that delivers milk between midnight & 2am. I've got the Worthing midnight charity walk due soon which goes past my corner house en-route with a full night of stewards shouting 'well done' to middle aged women wearing flashing antlers on their heads.

I recommend wax ear plugs sold by Boots. They were called 'Muffles'. Stick those in your lug-holes and you'll sleep through Armageddon. The milk delivery where I live - by 'Milk & More' - is at similar times to yours ie very early in the morning. No idea why, but I'm guessing that the customer base is spread far and wide, so delivering to (say) 50 customers takes a few hours, whereas in the olden days it would mean driving down half of one road. Ergo there were lots of milkmen back then, but very few now.

The milky man always delivers early to guarantee you get milk on your corn flakes and that his s***e vehicle doesn't hold you up when you try to get to work. Very inconsiderate of him. As for the run thing, that is a b******. I think a good egging is in order.

The old floats used to be great - just the thing to get a lift home after a great night out......

I haven't seen a milkman and float in literally years. I know they do exist, but very few people use them, plus they work in the middle of the night. I'd imagine most of their customers must be housebound old age pensioners, as its easy to get milk in all local shops these days, and much cheaper
