It’s a shame they don’t still make milk floats like they used to, anyone using it as a getaway vehicle would have to be pi$$ed or high as a kite. Absolute scum this though
Awful. My dad was a milkman in the 80s and early 90s, around Worsbrough. He was out delivering one day, when someone picked a bottle up off the side of his float, glassed him and stole his takings. That's when he decided to change jobs. He's had to wear glasses ever since.
Pete's our milkman, horrible news he's had some awful luck over the past year, the toerag that did this is a known thug, apparently he's locked up for this dirty deed already.
That's a sad story too. I lived in Worsbrough Dale until 1987. Maybe we were part of your dad's round? My mum thought our milkman was brilliant. A lovely chap with long hair, really friendly.
Aye, he did Worsbrough Dale. I'm sure he would have been doing it then. He was definitely doing it from 85-92, not sure when he started though. Dave they call him, Dave Arch. He previously had long hair, but not when he was on the milk haha.
Glad they’ve got the culprit. Sounds like he’s a known local then? Hope Pete makes a swift and full recovery.
Pretty sure our milkman was called Dave. Top bloke. Ask your dad if he did High Street. I might have mis-remembered the hair.
I'll drop him a message later. He may have had long hair on the milk thinking about it. I remember my mum saying she wouldn't have married him had he got long hair when they met, and they got married in 85.
Just donated to the gofundme page. According to BBC Radio Sheffield, someone has been charged and remanded.
He said he did have long hair when he first started on the Milk. High Street was on his round, and he did it from 78 to 94. So yes, I believe it was him.
Small world. I would have been about 16 in 1978. I remember Dave pretty well. With all his customers over the years, he won't remember me, but tell him Joyce's lad says hi.
