Actually he comes every other day and we have four pints, two of each, but for whatever reason four in the shot looked wrong. Dunno why.
It all looks a bit “old-fashioned” really – though I’d prefer to think of it as traditional!
Why did they decide to change the colour coding and make red top semi-skimmed in glass but skimmed in plastic? Why is semi-skimmed in plastic green? Couldn’t they have just kept the same colours throughout? I keep picking out the wrong bottle when I want skimmed. Perhaps I’m just pathetic?
I read somewhere recently that the wholesale move to the use of semi-skimmed milk is pointless because the fat content of so-called full fat is still technically low fat in nutritional terms. I have checked this little gem of nutritional information and this is indeed so – full fat milk is around 3.5% fat, which is classed as low fat for all nutritional guidelines/diet guidelines. So, some nutritionists now say, if you like full-fat milk, drink it because it’s really a drop in the ocean in fat terms compared to say, how much butter you put on your toast or how many burgers you eat.
Having said that, here is our milk order – two semi-skimmed and two skimmed – hmmmmm.
Last year, I was running the gauntlet of the traffic in Knightsbridge getting a shot of Harrods at night.
