My sister used to work for a farmer who packed jersey milk in bags like this. I remember one Christmas morning she came back home with a huge bag full of bags of jersey milk, the only problem was that we didn't have the proper jug!

Guernsey and Jersey used and discarded this system many moons ago. I am really suprised anyone is introducing them again. One of the problems was the packs leaked in storage. If a pack was dropped it sometimes exploded everywhere. Very messy

Tescos do it as well but only in one of the 3 shops they have here. Which mean I can only get a bag if I can get a lift to almost out of town store

I get my milk brought to the school bus stop . It's raw milk straight from the farm that the farmer's wife brings along when we drop the kids off for school.

I remember thinking this was a good idea when I saw it used in Canada in 1967. What has it done, hopped slowly on one foot backwards across the atlantic?

When I lived in Somerset during the 70's - 80's the milk from the local shop came in bags, we had a funny oval shape blue plastic jug that the bag fitted in. I seem to remember a few exploding bags on the kitchen floor - the dogs liked them !

I don't think I ever knew the name of the farm or the herd, it was yonks ago and I was still at school.
We lived down in Kent at the time, and AFAIR the farm was somewhere like Ivy Hatch, but she only worked there for a short time.

I lived in Bristol during the mid 70s and have similar recollections though sadly I lacked the canine cleaning assistants

We had this in our high school in the mid '70's. If I remember correctly, the bags didn't have a specific spot for the straw to be inserted.

The only milk in bags that I know of now are what are in large bags that are for restaurant use. They are set in a crate and the crate is inserted in a cooler. They have a nipple on the bag that sticks out of the cooler. The nipple is snipped and some type of locking divice at handle on the outside controls flow.
