I remember when we used to take back the bottles for the deposit on them, 3d if I remember correctly, we were recycling way back then, they probably were sterilised and re-used, these days they would melt them down!

Milk delivery in glass bottles that had a bulge at the top where the cream collected, and paper caps!

And if it was bitterly cold, it would freeze and rise up out of the bottle with the cap perched on top!!

Did anyone have a real ice box, with ice delivery? You'd put a sign in the window "20 pounds" or whatever, and the deliveryman brought it in huge tongs!!
