I am just old enough to remember doorstep milk deliveries as a child. In particular there was my first attempt at catching a burglar with a tripwire and car hubcap, which only served to give the milkman a near heart attack the next morning. I’ve never quite recovered from the guilt.
Well, apparently, milkmen are back. McQueens Dairies have recently started a milk delivery service in the Strathbungo area. They currently deliver around 7am on Mondays and Thursdays, with the usual range, including organic milk.
If you are interested in this service, you can contact McQueens on 0141 332 9608 or at info@mcqueensdairies.co.uk. Their website (www.mcqueensdairies.co.uk) needs a bit of work though.
I have no financial interest in McQueens, and as the BBC never tires of saying “There are other milk delivery options available.” I understand a more local dairy, Youngs Dairy of G42 also deliver in the area, and have done so for some years. I have no information on their service but they can be contacted on 0141 632 2578.
Mind you, neither of them are listed as delivering to Strathbungo at www.findmeamilkman.net, and nor is anyone else.
So, as with any local community service like this, use it or lose it. Just look out for Humphrey (now I am showing my age).
