We do, I get a few bottles of old school pop of him
We used to have a 'fish man' a 'coal man' the 'milk man' still does his round but i think only a few people use him on our road. |

I was wondering what the hell a pop man was LOL.
![]() I haven't seen those fizzy drinks vans since the 80s when it was Barr's glass bottles that you could return and get money back for. Haven't seen a milkman since around then either! |

Used to Hagues lemonade around here. It died out a long time ago, as did the milkman.
Its a shame really that we have lost that to the supermarkets but such is life. |

At first I thought you meant the adult entertainment type of pop man.
![]() There used to be a man who delivered drinks in my area, but that stopped a long time ago. It's rare to see the fish man or coal man. I haven't seen a milk man for years. |

LOL, I remember the 'ginger lorry' coming round in the 1980s - we call pop 'ginger' in the Glasgow area.
As someone said above they used to sell Barr's ginger, all the horrible lurid limeades, cherryades etc! Also One-Cal.I also remember a rag and bone man coming round the streets in the 80s. In the area of Scotland where I live now there are still coal lorries, but I don't think they still go round in my old neck of the woods near Glasgow. Happy memories!

We used to have a pop man when I was younger. We'd get a load of bottles of pop for Christmas.
Now I have a Fruit and Veg man who comes around, he also does milk. |

![]() Back in the seventies when Unigate ruled the roost our local milkman used to double up as a fizzy drink delivery man |

They used to do 'Pineappleade'. Fortunately I can't remember what it tastes like.
![]() As were many of their products (IMO of course!). Half of them probably wouldn't be allowed nowadays with the the amount of sugar and colourings that were in them. |

I remember in the late 80s/early 90s the milkman used to deliver pop as well as milk. My parents would put a massive order in for fizzy drinks at Christmas time.
I think it kind of stopped when they began getting their milk from the supermarket because it was cheaper than having it delivered. We have a weekly organic box of fruit and veg delivered by a man so does that count as having a fruit and veg man?!

The milkman used to carry pop about with him 20 odd years ago - I often used to buy Corona cream soda off him (My fav as a kid)- now the milkman only seems to have spare orange juice on board so you have to order it.
