Birmingham milk bars

Quite a range of milk products on offer. And at ‘milk cocktail bars’ ! And ‘National’, so would this have been part of a government sponsored effort to increase consumption of milk ? Or to encourage teetotalism ? What was T.T ?

TT milk did have a red chequered top, Mike.

'Sandwiches sent to your address'. Perhaps the telegram boys on their BSA bantams were used for deliveries (joking). I don't remember ever seeing deliveries like this in my youth. Did anyone else?
Yes the sandwich service must have been quite enterprising at the time - 1935. Viv.
