Just tell the milkman


When my wife's parents wanted to sell their house in 1960, what did they do?

They just told the milkman.

Later a couple knocked on the door and bought it.

Simple.

We are currently taking the first reluctant leaden steps in moving home. So you can imagine how well this post goes down...

Sam - yes, but did you tell the milkman?

I hope it all goes well though. Get rid of stuff is my advice. Not that I ever follow my advice.

It's always been the way to go to the tradesmen or the regulars.

James - and I think telling the milkman something was a kind of local messaging system. Same with the postman.
