More Nostalgia

Remember when they did this ? Leave your milk on the doorstep these days and it gets nicked !
Another from the 70's

It certainly brings back memories to me John. Great pic.

No denying the culprit here, John. I can remember when the bottles had cardboard tops. Excellent behavioural image.

Leave your milk on the doorstep these days and it gets nicked

Blimey - the Blue Tits round your way must be b****y strong John

Still do it around here John - even tho' we feed the little blighters - gotta use a plastic bottle cover to stop 'em.

LOL that takes me back a bit .You'll not find images like this any more .A nostalgic cracker.

Sweaters for goal posts, shorts, homework & 'Gold Top' , what larks.

'You'll not find images like this any more' - Mark, if you were looking I thing we know now where to go

John, I bet Health & safety would have a thing to say about that shot.

Steve

yup, I wonder if they liked Stera milk too, classic and it does bring back memories.

Cheers
Mark

Looks like they where nicking it back then as well Thanks for sharing, made me laugh!

Brilliant John and I remember seeing this once or twice.. Nice to see these images, keep them coming.

Hi John, great capture and it does bring back memories.

Still happens here - the milkman and the tits

enjoyed that one great image

If it comes to that, I haven't seen a milk bottle of that shape for some years either. As Brett say, keep them coming.

David

I have read about this story in a German bird watcher magazine.
Thanks for the demonstration shot John

You're making me feel old now as a lad I used to help the milkman deliver milk before going to school in the morning. He had a shire horse pulling the co-op cart. Now that's blown my cover.

Great shot.

You can tell it's an old image. The modern Great Tit is much more health concious and would be on skimmed milk in this day and age.

No Justin I reckon it would turn its nose up at skimmed only the best for Johns Great tits.
Brings back a few memories John and what a great image to look back on.

Major.

An old image it might be but I think it is very nice...something I have never seen!
Excellent

Nostalgia on two counts John - the obvious, and the proper PINT - good old England, those were the days Ever likely it doesn't happen any more with homogenised milk, and no self-respecting English Tit knows what a damn litre is anyway............

Thanks for the flash-back John - Ektachrome or Fujichrome??

Thanks all
Andy- Good old Ektachrome 64 with a 1/4 red filter !
Cheers

I remember this very well. Tried on loads of occasions to get a decent shot but never succeeded. Glad you did though!

Tony

Great oldy

Nice bit of nostalgia John . I don't ever remember having bottles that shape in Ireland - unless it was before my time (which fewer things these days seem to be)

Excellent shot!
