Skimming Exercise

Milkman David Sandedge has ended his doorstop deliveries on Merseyside, after 63 years. David was just seven years old when he took up his job. He left his first pint of milk at a front door on Handover Drive. He used to help his father deliver the milk.

In 1953, David and his father had 7,500 bottles a day on their milk float. On his last visit to Handover Drive he had just 300 bottles of milk for regular customers. From now on we will all have to buy milk from shops and supermarkets.
