Here's what my sister-in-law told me. She was watching BBC Breakfast this morning when the milkman called, so she went to the door to say she didn't want another pint, too much already, but I can't stop and chat cos my brother-in-law's on the telly talking about neighbourliness...
Naturally most milkmen are interested in the topic, and this one is no exception - keeps an eye on folk to make sure everything's ok - so in he comes to watch for the few minutes that I'm on, in a somewhat shapeless conversation with Wayne Hemingway following one of David Sillito's short film pieces. Then apparently just a quick question - 'does he mention milkmen in his book then?'
If you're curious about the answer, one good way to find out would be to go to this page and be enticed.
