A toss up whether this belongs here or in GD, but here it is anyway .

What type of milk used to come in tall bottles with a narrow neck and topped with a crown cap? It's driving me crazy trying to think of it.

I lived in Stoke for a few years and it was oddly popular around there.

Never knew the fascination with the stuff really - surely even people in Stoke had fridges.

Never liked pasteurized milk, sterilized was what we used to have, but have now had UHT skimmed for 22+ years, as not really a milk drinker.

I've never tried sterilised milk but I found it interesting that its bottles were very different from other milk types (red top, silver top, gold top etc.)

I used to help a milkman on his rounds when I was a kid and I seem to recall a blue top as well. It wasn't very popular as there was only one crate of it on the float. Anyone know what this was?

Wasn't that skimmed milk?
In the supermarkets it tends to be blue for whole, green for semi skimmed and red for skimmed. But thinking back, milk off the milk man was different..
Silver for whole milk, red for semi skimmed and blue for skimmed..
Could be wrong though- its been a while since i had milk delivered.

A girl I used to live with in my first year at uni loved sterilised milk. She always had a good supply in. I tried it once and it was quite nice in tea and on cereal.

My mum always ordered the gold cap from the milkman for over Xmas too....supposedly Jersey cow milk (or was she just spinning a yarn?)

Couldn't stand the stuff
