offlineMemberSorry, I thought I was in NB, but I appear to have stumbled on an episode of "Grumpy Old Men".
But what's with people who can't fucking park?!

offlineMemberThere was a "Alright on the Night" clip of Ruben Rausing, the inventor of "Tetra Pak" cartons (the pyrimidal ones we used to get milk in before Thatcher snatched them first time around) attempting to demonstrate how easy it was to open one of their new designs - the milk went absolutely everywhere, the biter was bit. Most satisfying. Couldn't find it on You Tube though.

I can remember in the mid 70s, milk being sold in things that looked like the packages you get pasta sauce/microwave rice etc in. You had to put it into a rigid plastic holder before you opened them, and even then, you ended up with more milk on the floor than if you'd thrown the bag in the air and blasted it with a shotgun.Posted 2 years ago # -

And I remember milk coming in something like this:

P.S. not interested in "BPA free" products!

A bit like these - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_bag
And the orange coloured thing for holding it is exactly what I remember my Gran having.
Please note the trepidation with which I googled the words "Plastic Milk Bags".
