Those days were simple. I want to order more for tomorrow but don?t see the point if someone steals it.

I spoke to them today to ask that as someone mentioned it. But they took the empty?s away it must have been today. Ours haven?t changed.

I don?t mind if someone is desperate enough to need 1 pint but taking them both is not nice. If I couldn?t have my breakfast tea I would camp out to catch them 😂

I don't have anywhere to attach to a wall though and knowing my luck if I attached it to the railings they would take the whole thing lol....

Yes I would have thought that but they picked up the empty bottles. It been a problem for a little while now, since lock down a bottle here and a bottle there. It's such a shame. This morning was the first time both bottles were taken.

Evil idea, but I like it lol.. :). Might just keep a bottle out of the fridge for a couple of weeks and put it on the doorstep in the morning :)

Hi there I checked on the website today and it was delivered as marked completed. If milk is stolen then only advice is to report it to the police but it seems overkill to do it. If I knew that others were having a similar problem then it would be more of an organised thing and then it would be worth reporting.

Well I went to get the milk at 7am this morning, the old milk bottles were taken and new milk wasn't there. I think they deliver about 4-5am.. Its such a shame as it is the best way to have milk without the use of plastic, it just means that we have to stop delivery if it happens again on Wednesday, I don't mind if someone needs 1 bottle and I am not going to worry about that, but when they take both is just not on.

Hi just wondering if anyone else has an issue with this? Someone started taking 1 bottle every week and this morning they took both bottles. Just asking to see if anyone else has this issue? I am on Dunstans Road.

Yes unfortunately not many people are considerate, I have been trying to teach this morning with a dog barking, neighbours shouting at each other arguing, now music and motorcycles and cars going far too fast up Dunstans Road. Is it too hard to realise there are other people around you that have to maintain work they do in an already stressful environment? Seems so. Take care and stay safe. Currently working with all windows closed, curtains closed and trying to talk over peoples conversations while stood outside. Oh the joys lol..
