Price of milk

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

I was just looking into the cost of a milkman, because the price of milk in shops has risen dramatically recently (I suspect the milkman price has too). Turns out the weekly cost of having our milk delivered by a milkman is almost twice that of buying it at Waitrose. That's not quite true, because of petrol coses, but I actually mostly can be bothered to walk to Tesco/Budgens, and therefore only drive (or have shopping delivered) when I need a lot anyway.

Maybe each milkfloat journey uses less energy than everyone going to the shops 3 times a week would?

Not if we walk, surely?

Do you always walk?

if it's just milk, then yes. If it's not just milk, then we'd be driving to the place where the milk is or having someone else drive from the place where the milk is anyway.

That's probably true. It's also probably true that a large number of crimes have been prevented/detected due to the presence of a milkman in a (relatively) quiet vehicle.
