    Our Citra Lemonade used to be delivered by the milkman.

    That's another thing I miss - The Milkman and the Milk Float clanging around with a mixture of full bottles and empties.

    Milk was delivered on a float ,around the times we are talking about, too. My milkman was Peter Shilton's uncle Jim. My Mum always used to tell him she didn't have a clue who his nephew was!!

    When I first went to Canada and you bought your milk in the supermarket, it was like a really strange alien concept.

    They are a rare commodity now though. You see one in South Cave. He's probably only in the village half an hour as he only has about 10 stops to make.

    I don't think I realised for years that Mackmans was a chain of bakers. I thought there was just the one on the Hall Road/Fairfax Avenue roundabout shops near where I lived. Big city Hull.
