Angry Milkman woke me up

Our milkman is becoming world class and waking me up at 4am. I've got used to his diesel-powered noise maker, his constant banging and clattering and his stereo turned up but this morning, just to finish the job properly, he reversed into a lamp post and knocked it down

I think he thought he'd gotten away with it until he clocked me watching him

If it wasn't for you meddling kids!

I haven't seen a milk float / van in about 10 years.

I have a similar problem.

Care worker ringing door bell and banging on window of ground floor flat every Saturday & Sunday morning at 8am

I've shouted at her, which did the trick for a few weeks, but it started again this weekend gone.

Her excuse was brilliant. "It's not my fault". Who's fault is it then? You're the one ringing the door bell & banging on the window.

Not wanting to sound nasty, but if the old dear dies soon, I'll get a lie in. Is that wrong to say? It is isn't it?

Or if you die soon. There, that evens it out, you don't have to feel guilty now

Or leave a car-sized gap in front of him, no doubt

I have this problem, the *** arrives at 4am in his Diesel Transit which has noisy alternator bearings which whistle and I have had to contact the dairy twice to tell him to change the alternator belt which squeals, you can he the daft tosser trying to keep the revs down to stop it screaming, night after night, one day I am going to flip and beat him to death with a bottle of Semi Skimmed.

First time I moaned his wife came round and had a go at my wife, luckily I wasnt there or she might have got an earful.

Why do the neighbours insist on having milk delivered every morning, we buy it from the supermarket, ok its ruining local deliveres, yadda, yadda, I would be fully suportive if they didnt wake me up in the process, so Tesco making more money and another milkman on the dole isnt an issue for me compared to unbroken sleep.
