Re: school milk

did it taste different to the milk you git at home sandie.
im sure it must have been the case.
perhaps it was more fresh the milk you got in school.

i remember getting bottled milk so clearly.
i just loved it.
any left over i had to have it.

we got our milk in normal plain clear small glass bottles.
we got it cold.

I don't really know why I liked school milk, but wouldn't take it at home. I was probably one of those really fussy kids who liked things certain ways.

Re: school milk

I loved School milk. Can't understand why because it was the only time I drank milk as I hated it at home. The bottles were always warm and we used to see who could finish their milk first. If there was any left over, it would be offered to anyone that wanted another.

Re: school milk

I was always nearly last to finish mine - I had less playtime as a result!!

i guess you really enjoyed the bottled milk mate.
and you did not worry about less playtime.

Re: school milk

Milk was great at school. Our teacher would let us have a 2nd one if there was any spare and I was always the front of the queue for 2nds.

Re: school milk

Once a teacher kept us in silence for what seemed like ever because somebody sneakily took two bottles of milk, so the last child to turn up at the desk to collect hers found there wasn't any left and started crying. I think we had a lecture on stealing, but the girl who didn't get her milk just got the p*ss taken out of her for weeks about it. I think we were about six.

Re: school milk

Lot's of memories seeing the milk bottles here!..
At one time I was the milk monitor and I felt so proud too!..
I wasn't really into the liking of warm milk but we were allowed to take little sachets of milkshake to add to it and that did make the milk taste that bit better!.

Re: school milk

I left prep school in 1982 and we were still getting school milk then - mind you I think our parents paid fir it rather than the state. We also got a biscuit (only one each mind unless you wanted to spend break outside the Headmasters office) and the highlight was the rare occasions we got chocolate digestives!

Re: school milk

I must be really odd cos I didn't mind school milk, (admittedly I never put my hand up for a 'chilled' spare in the afternoon) Our milk was in glass bottles and we had white waxed straws to drink it with.
'Vid' the milk man used to bring it straight in the kitchen from his truck (a Morris pick-up truck) and the cooks always put it in the kitchen fridge and kept it cold in the summer. I loved my primary school in the 60s may be it's because our school did 'proper school dinners' not like my kids suffered, it was a small village school and it was like a big family, the two cooks were fab. I'm sure they didn't stick to the regular school food menus! Their food was like you'd have at home, yorkshire puddings, proper meat stock gravy fresh veg (supplied by local farmers) etc.

Re: school milk

School milk was still about when I was at Infants school, in plastic cartons rather than bottles. Two things I remember about it - having to sit with our chairs facing away from the table so nobody would spill milk on it, and wondering how I'd manage to drink it all (I hated milk!)
