SimoneMyall LOL what? they're gonna keep a herd of cows in each store so that we can refill our empty plastic milk bottles straight from the udder?😲😲😆😆😉😉

Excellent

I’m just wondering how this will work with the big supermarkets every thing free structure, as I tried this with sainsburys previously and like Tesco and Asda, it was a lot of talk but little action. Unless I paid them to impliment the changes.

Hoping that this idea comes into action very soon and the example is followed by many supermarkets. So logical to have a fresh milk tank in store with taps for refilling. Obviously hygiene is paramount but I'm sure there is a way to achieve it
