i was milk monitor for 3 years in NZ primary school, loved the real milk and the glass bottles.
Can still very easily enjoy milk produced by a cow, not some f....in factory adulterated stuff

Luckily I have friends who bless my taste buds when in their area.

I started School in 1971.In a Small N.S.W. rural Village School of 40 Kids.
The bigger one were on a roster to walk up to the Train Station (couple of Ks) to collect the Milk. It would be in a couple of Milkcrates in the Guards van with the local Mail & whatever Freight they had..

1/3 of a pint from memory from old “milk monitor” days?
Also remember school banning “flavoured straws” (choc, strawberry etc) that many kids used to make the warm tepid milk drinkable

That reminds me of the 1 and only time my kid ever got a kinder surprise. The surprise wasnt the toy in the middle. It was when my kid said 'dad i dont feel....' then projectile vomited all through the front of my work van.
