when did whole cream milk get rubbish?

[Rich1988]

as a child I used to love whole cream milk, the best thing I liked about it was that on pretty much every bottle you ever bought was a layer of 'cream' for want of a better word, at the top of every bottle, I used to love having those bits of creamy milk on my cereal, Ive recently started buying whole cream milk again only to find it all perfectly mixed and no cream

whats the deal ?

Gold top milk from the milkman still has this?

Jersey Gold Top milk from Waitrose (and probably loads of other places) is nice for this.

In fact in a hot chocolate it is amazing. Unhomogenised too...I think?

Yup and ours has moved with the times with online orders and auto payment. He also delivers lots of food and other items.

didnt they purposely used to add the cream and then some eu ruling was put in to stop it becauew of bacteria or some rubbish

Yep. We have a milkman.

There's a milkman round our way. He's constantly smoking. We tried him, but he was too unreliable, so we gave in. Besides, nowadays my wife needs lactose free milk, so we get loads of that in the supermarket instead.

My wife once saw the milkman slumped in his float. She ran out in her pyjamas to see if he was OK. Turned out he was having a nap. She thought he'd had a heart attack.

Yeah bloody queers ruined our milk, homogenised rubbish.

I get stuck behind the milkman most mornings driving through the small village on my route to work, nice guy, almost feel guilty overtaking as it's almost too easy with his small diesel float.

Homogenisation stops the cream floating to the top. As said, the Gold Top they sell in Waitrose is not homogenised and the cream floats up.

Just to add to that, this is a common example of a homogenie which ****s up your milk:

Our milkman is actually a milkwoman and she is very good, always delivers in time for breakfast and in all weathers, including the heavy snow last winter, (she turned up in a Land Rover).
