Hello Jane

My grandfather was a 'milk carrier' from the time he started work until he
retired. He worked first for Buckingham's Dairy in Willesden and Hampstead
before this company was absorbed by the UD. He received a gold watch from United
Dairies upon the completion of fifty years service with them and retired at
65 years old in 1939. I have the watch.

I am fairly certain that I have regaled the List with the stories of my
grandfather,his horse and the baker and feeding time at the United Dairies
stables at Acacia Road but if I am wrong no doubt Cuz Angela will tell me and if I
did and you missed it, let me know and I will give you a personal version off
list.

Len
