Things I'd forgotten existed #1: Milk tokens

We went in a Waitrose the other week and were given a green plastic token to use to vote for their charity of the month.  It reminded me of the milk tokens that my Mum used to buy from the Co-op and leave outside the front door for the milkman.  Here is an example of one from the Oxford & Swindon Co-op.  The Sheffield & Ecclesall were similar.  As well as green in colour, they were environmentally green also.  Milk delivered to your doorstep by an electric powered milk float in glass bottles, which you would wash and the empties reused.  Supermarkets 0 – Milkman 1.
