Neil Thomas – Milkman

“We’re a lot busier – it’s like Christmas Eve every morning! Everyone is getting different stuff, more stuff, changing stuff! Loads of different people getting milk. But eggs – eggs are just mad, absolutely mad – I’m doing 2-3 times as many eggs than I did before. But we couldn’t get the cartons or the boxes to put them in and it’s the same with the milk, they struggled at one time to get bottles, but it’s all worked out at the moment. What’ll it be like at the end of the day I don’t know. It was changing slightly before because people were going onto bottles because of plastic and this has just pushed them in that direction. But who knows what it will be like afterwards - whether it will be busier because of this I don’t know but at the moment it’s definitely busier - I just keep going one day at a time! (added half an hour to my round – hard work this carry on you know – I’m getting older! )”
