Get Milk & More Deliveries in the UK - and More Worldwide, not just Amazon and McDonalds

 Remember when we used to get a pint of milk on the doorstep every day. This was when we were children and most people had one or two children and most children had two parents, so most households were three or more.

Milk deliveries stopped. Later supermarkets would offer a complete shop, once a week. After Covid, everybody has got used to being able to have anything delivered. Amazon delivers. McDonalds delivers. Everyone delivers. In Singapore there is Ubereats. Supermarkets such as Waitrose will deliver. Ocado delivers. Tesco delivers..

In London the restaurants have tables by the door for collections by people zooming around on motorbikes.

Milk & More

This week in the UK my family received a leaflet with an offer from Milk & more with 30% off the first four orders.

It doesn't suit me right now. We all live within walking distance of the shops. That's one of the things I always look for when buying or renting property. The same applies when staying in hotels, unless we are also renting a car.

The post office is now offering to collect post as well as delivering.

UK Supermarket opening hours on UK Bank Holidays and deliveries of fruit, fish and veg worldwide

Problem
If you are an overseas visitor or a British one and forgot, Aug 27 Monday is a bank holiday in the UK. What if you want to eat breakfast, buy a sandwich or do a shop?

Answers
You can google the trade name of the supermarket, (such as Aldi, Morrisons, Tesco, Tesco 24 hours, Tesco Express, Waitrose. Check your nearest branch. Go to opening hours (if not already displayed with open or closed today and today's closing time and tomorrow's opening time.

I checked on a branch of Morrisons and found that it was open on bank Holiday 8-6 but the cafe closes earlier and the garden centre might open later or close earlier. Once before I thought I'd do my shopping and then stop for a coffee and cake or sandwich or even a hot meal at the end, but the cafe was already closed.

Mysupermarket.co.uk enables you to choose from assorted branded and unbranded goods and compare the prices at various supermarkets.
