gone but not forgotten
Your post about helping on a milk round in Devon brought up old memories I haven't thought about since the 50's.At the tender age of sixteen, when I came to live in Devon, I had work for a few weeks as helper on a local milk round.
A group of us from our street went on a two week camping holiday in 1954 (mentioned with pics elsewhere on the forum) and we were smitten by the blonde daughter of the local dairy owner. She used to drive a milk float and deliver milk around Combe Martin. We tried to 'chat her up' even going into the dairy shop for bottles of milk, and clotted cream we didn't really need, but although friendly she was not at all impressed by young 'city slickers' from Brum..
