    so, if anyone has any regular tesco pasteurised milk (blue labelled one) to hand, can they please tell me the fat content. Thanks

    Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that hardly any other country in the world has milk that tastes like british milk?

    Isn't milk now standardised? IIRC the fat/cream content would way higher in summer when the cows were eating decent grass etc.


    ....and the german 80 x 80 pillows are just weird IMHO

    Indeed. This call it simply a sleeping-room but they are being coy.

    Some ladies like them between their legs while they are asleep, I am told.

    Blimey, they are big. That's the Robert Wiseman Dairies of Bridgewater, Somerset, too.
    The company was founded in 1947 by Robert Wiseman Snr, with a horse and cart used for doorstep deliveries.

    1967 saw the current Chairman, Alan Wiseman, join the business straight from school, followed some eight years later by the Company’s current Managing Director, Robert Wiseman Junior.[1] Robert Wiseman Senior handed control of the business to his sons in 1976 and they gradually built the business up through a series of acquisitions in the 1970s and 1980s.[1]

    In 1988 the company built a new purpose built dairy in Bellshill (referred to above as the Glasgow Dairy).

    This dairy was designed for supermarket supplies and quickly gained contracts from some of the larger retailers. Having achieved success within Scotland, the Directors were determined to continue expanding the business and saw an opportunity to repeat what had been achieved in Scotland by establishing a production base in the North of England.

    In March 1994 the Company was floated on the London Stock Exchange. The money raised from the flotation allowed the acquisition of Kennerty Farm Dairies and the construction of a new Manchester dairy which opened in September 1995 and was operating to capacity within four years.

    In the late 1990s further growth in turnover was primarily achieved with further acquisitions in Scotland, including the Co-op liquid milk business, Hamilton Dairies and the liquid milk business from Scottish Pride (including the popular Fresh 'n' lo brand).

    A site was then identified at Droitwich Spa, south west of Birmingham, and a dairy opened there in April 2001.

    A Wiseman truck on the road.In late 2006 the Company acquired Milklink's fresh liquid milk processing and distribution business which included diaries in Okehampton and Pensilva.[2] The Company's latest development, a new 500 million litres per annum processing and distribution site at Bridgwater, Somerset, commenced operation as planned in December 2007.[1] The Pensilva dairy closed in June 2008.[3]

    A deal with a Spanish distributor to supply fresh milk in that country was agreed in February 2008.



    In 2007, Wiseman Dairies were one of a number of companies investigated by the Office of Fair Trading for a £270m price-fixing conspiracy.

    A swift and efficient resolution was brought about largely due to the co-operation of Wiseman and others with the OFT, resulting in combined fines for all companies involved of over £116 million

    That'll be the thesis for most of them.

    So - from Milk to German sexual behavior - is it ?

    OK then ...

    A FLIRTING course is being offered to notoriously nerdy IT students at Potsdam University south of Berlin.
