Milk theft

[pinkhalf]

I've had my milk delivered to my doorstep for all the time I've been in East Dulwich, and had no problems. Recently however it has started to go missing/presumably stolen.

Has anyone else who gets a doorstep delivery found that their milk is going missing?

As it happens ours was taken today (on Rodwell). Only happened once or twice before in 12 years mind.

Loads more cats in ED these days, since snorky went missing. They'll be the culprits, the furry little ethical vacuums.

::o Moos! ;-)

But how do they get the little silver foil tops off?

But how do they get the little silver foil tops off?

It must be this...

[Moos]

Duh, they have claws!

I guess they might have trouble with the screwtops though. They'd have to cut a deal with some monkeys for those.

When I first started getting my order from Milk and More - the first couple of times it went missing. i had to say where to put it, in front of the flat in order to hide it from passers by. Ive since moved and i so far (touch wood) have had no problems.

We safely say it won't be anyone from the dulwich vegan society ...

I wonder if it's Mary. Since she got sacked from the dairy she doesn't have the access to calcium-rich products the way she used to.

Her nails are only remaining 'talony' by thrice daily application of varnish and she's starting to lean to one side, so she reckons her bones are on the slide, too.

And that Max Miller's been no use to her at all. He turned out to be a bit of a bad lot, all round.

And if it was a milk round she might've been alright.

Still she fell for his blandishments, but really if she'd just paid attention at his shows she could have seen the signs.

There are some clues in the song.

#I fell in love with Mary from the dairy

But Mary wouldn't fall in love with me.

Down by an old mill stream

We both sat down to dream

Little did she know that I was thinking up a scheme,

She said, 'Let's pick some buttercups and daisies',

But those buttercups were full of margarine

She slipped and we both

Down by a wishing well

In the same place where I fell for Nellie Dean.

I fell in love with Mary from the Dairy,

But Mary wouldn't fall in love with me;

Down by an old mill stream

We both sat down to dream:

That was when I offered her my strawberries and cream

We walked and talked together in the moonlight,

She asked me what I knew of farmery,

I said, 'Mary, I'm no fool,

You can't milk Barney's Bull.'

That's when Mary from the dairy fell for me.

Little did she know that I was thinking up a scheme,

The wife she says that she is going to leave me,

The moment that she does then I am free,

There's a little girl I know

I'll take her and I'll show,

Where Mary from the Dairy fell for me.#

Think the cows want it back by the sounds of it!

[HonaloochieB]

I doubt it MTallen, in my experience, your cow is only good for a backing vocal - with a lead they flounder.

Unless it's certain jazz songs. Or selected Extreme Noise Terror numbers.
