Description
The milkman's day begins with an early alarm. For over thirty years, Andrew Ward has collected stories from those who have delivered milk, revealing the job's history and everyday experiences. This collection is structured around the milkman's working day, from the start of his shift to his return home in search of sustenance. The book features many milkmen, each with their own unique story. From Chris Frankland, who delivered over eight million pints before retiring at seventy-four, to Tony Fowler, whose exploits helped put fifty people behind bars, these tales offer a glimpse into the lives of those who have played a vital role in British society. Through oral testimony, newspaper archives, and formal interviews, Ward has gathered a wealth of information about the milkman's world. This is a fascinating look at a bygone era, one that must not be forgotten.
