I don't know where all these tales of randy milkmen came from. Real milkmen never had a minute to spare. My pal's dad was a milkman, and he worked every hour dog gave him. He was up about 4am, loading up his van, and drove round the streets with a couple of milk boys running up and down people's paths carrying the bottles. He'd have finished his rounds before 8am, so everyone had fresh milk for their breakfast, and then he'd be back at the dairy (where I did some part time work for a while) where he'd maybe help in the shop, or be cleaning out the van (which always stank of sour milk however much you washed it). He was a hardworking man who barely saw his customers -most of them would be still asleep as he drove past their houses. It was us lot in the shop who actually met them when they came in to pay their weekly accounts. (Aye, and you wouldn't want to see most of that lot in slinky negligées, I can assure you!)

Sean Connery was an Edinburgh milko before he was James Bond.

Let's be charitable. I watched "Divorce Court" on TV the other day, and there was a woman divorcing her husband because he looked at websites featuring(and I quote) "Fatties and Grannies in clothes of a sexual nature". This offended his wife. The scorned woman herself was of proportions rarely seen outside the USA. The judge herself was shrieking with laughter and asking him if his wife's figure wasn't full enough for him.
