Ghastly stuff, never understood how anyone could drink it - probably why it has such a long shelf life 
On that score I am reminded of the Red Dwarf dogâs milk sketch.

When did you last try it? Changed enormously in last years. I donât have milk in tea or coffee, but do have it on cereal and donât object to it like I used to.

I can feel a hunt coming on, but only in the local supermarket though. 
Iâll take your word for it But will stick to âfreshâ thanks
Just make sure you have Maïzéna and sugar in a cupboard, you are bound to have eggs, milk, vanilla etc. If you have only skimmed or semiskimmed milk just buy some little cartons of uht cream and bung one of those in too. Super easy and delicious 
I use sheepâs milk as it seems to suit my children better, and 7t 7s wonderful for CA and custard.
That is interesting, I thought it was âbetterâ when we got back from Oz but presumed it was just a 7 year memory gap! I think the organic stuff is better too.
Also what he has to say about the Scots doesnât bear repeating - and he refuses another referendum !! As if that carried any wieght. I thonk Nicola will win the next election hands down and then there WILL be a referedum whether the idiot says yes or no,
. Scotland is on itâs way back imto the EU as an independent nation. Itâll be a few years yet but weâll get there - the other 27 have already expressed sympathy.

The veterinary requirement was warned about and because so many of the vets working in UK come from Eastern Europe and do all the more tedious jobs, tb testing, abbattoir inspections etc. there was a real worry that they would go back and there would not be enough vets to do the product certification.
What a waste of talent certifying eggs in sandwiches and quiches.
Love our Super U in 22âŠnor the cheapest but makes supermarket shopping civilised!

Our newish Lidl doesnât sell fresh milk âŠvery strange
Thank you Vero, especially using uht cream with the milk which we already use. A good tip. 
We arenât particularly bothered about fresh milk, we donât drink glasses of milk the way British or Dutch etc people do. It gets made into chocolat chaud or nesquik etc. So uht is fine. And anyway it is what we are used to.
We donât see milk-drinking as being good for people over about 10, especially adults, milk makes you full of snot (well-known fact), everybody knows cafĂ© au lait is indigeste and everybody is amazed (and privately horrified) at people who drink them all day, their livers must obviously be in a terrible state.

as I am at drinking strong expresso all the time, you need a little milk but not the bucket sized drinks, sweet, milky and often tepid that is beloved by many UK coffee chainsâŠUrghhh

We have 3 lidl stores here, all within a 2 mile radius. None of them have fresh milk which is a bugger. Our local village shop has raw unpasteurised milk though. Itâs not too expensive and very rich and creamy. Just like I remember it as a child.

It isnât fresh it is UHT. And not strange at all the Lidl donât stock it (although they did have some fresh stuff for a while before Christmas), as VĂ©ro has said the French donât buy it. I suspect it is only there in some supermarkets for les etrangers!
Our supermarkets rarely have fresh milk, or more than one or two bottles.
The local Super U usually has a decent stock, maybe 50x 1l bottle (in a town of 2000 but itâs the biggest supermarket for 10km radius).
