Must think I have no brains!
I keep paying each (leave it outside cos Im never here when he comes) I keep paying what I know it should be, and he keeps saying Ive underpaid!
I was paying £12.55 a fortnight for 5 pints 3 times a week (42p a pint)
Now Ive gone down to 4 pints 3 days a week and its costing me £11.52 a fortnight (48p a pint)
So there me been paying £10 a week each fortnight and I'm £2 quid under!
BUT he says I owe £10.39 ... which is as if Ive underpaid £2 for almost 6 months, but I only changed the order 2 months ago!
I am so fed up, he is a right mardy git at the best of times and if I DARE say how come I owe this he will just stand there and shout at me he is so rude - he shouted at my nan too when she questioned it!
SO anyway Ive decided to feck him right off and get it from the supermarket at 30p a pint!
Im not bloody paying £4.30 for him to deliver it!

nob!!

you would think they would be friendly and its obviously loads more expensive then going to a supermarket, we buy 8pints of milk for £2 a week! x

Where from?!

My mum and dad still use the milkman but I always used to get really confused about how much we owed and I'm sure he used to try and rip us off! We get 8 pints for £2 too from Asda xx

Yeh Im sure he tries it on!
You imagine even if he made JUST 20p a house, and did 100 houses (I'm sure he does much more) thats £20 for him!

it baffles me that people can run a business being so god damned rude and arsey to customers and expect people to use their services.

i didn't even realise milkmen were still in business, i just figured everyone goes to supermarkets these days

Its not even his business! He just the delivery man!
I like to have fresh milk so have it Monday, Wednesday & Friday
BUT I think I'd rather save the £8.60 a month and take a little stroll down to Sainsburys!

Wow that is so expensive!! We go to our local paper shop and they charge £1.09 (it was £1 up until recently) for 4 pints!!

I just thought, I quite often get mine from Aldi too which is £1 for 4 pints xx

Yeh even Sainsburys is only £1.18 for 4 pints!

My grandad was a milkman but retired a couple of years ago (although now works as something different). I think by the end he mainly had older people buying from him

^^^ whatcha saying?!

Sorry meant to quote Kenty saying she didn't know they were still in business. Even he said he wouldn't use one because they're so expensive. I'd just get rid of yours and pick up milk with your weekly shop. His obviously trying it on with you and hoping you wouldn't notice

Think you are right Tamara!
I dont often get men trying it on without noticing

Don't blame you hun.

Char

What an idiot!

You're probably not the first customer that he's lost the company through his rudeness. My gramps was a milkman for years ~ he's probably turning in his grave at how services like these are turning sour (excuse the pun! lol)

Enjoy cheaper milk and the lack of verbal abuse that you were paying £4.30 to receive every fortnight! x

My milkman knocked on the door Tuesday to tell me they'd run out of milk?!!

He said they'd not had their delivery that morning.

Thats alot dont blame u for getting at the shops xx

i hate ours (well not ours as we are tight and buy from super market) but he comes down the road blasting eminem, guns and roses and prdigy at 5:30 am the amount of times i have shouted out the window at him and he just shoots me a right evil look x

No way! How rude!

Ours is at least descret! Ive NEVER heard him, and seeing as some night I have been up and gone to let dogs out and there is milk there...he must be soooo quiet cos not even the dogs hear him!

Stealth milkman...this is why I am scared of him!

thats another reason i dont like milkmen because they get so close to the door whilst your sleeping it scares me
