We are investing in non-petrol vehicles and we are trying to offer people options so they can use as little plastic as possible in our range”, Chris said.

By the third quarter of this year we will have a plastic free aisle on the online shop, so people can make informed decisions and be as green as they want - or not, as the case may be.”This led to commenters speculating a Boxing Day roll-out date, which might be a bit early for Easter prep, but we’ll allow it if that means we get Creme Egg Bars all year round. But for all the enthusiasm about the bar, some commenters were adamant that it was simply too early. ‘Let’s have Christmas first!’ one Facebook user requested, while another was more blunt about their seasonal preferences, saying, ‘We haven’t have Christmas yet, go away.’

U ltimately farmers are making decision to either cut production to try and stay in business to get through this or face those costs up. But we need support from the market level ultimately. Müller Milk & Ingredients which aims to be Britain’s private label dairy leader and produces branded and private label fresh milk, cream, butter and ingredients products. It boasts a network of dairies and depots servicing customers throughout the country.Michael Oakes, the dairy board chair of the National Farmers’ Union, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning: "It's been a contentious subject (the price of milk) at a retail level for many years. But what we've seen over the last couple of years is a very sharp rise in inflationary input costs at farm level and then since the Ukrainian war we’ve seen a seismic change (in costs). It just hasn’t been sustainable. The programme showed a mother whale mourning her calf that died due to plastic poisoning, and as a result environmentally conscious shoppers are switching to having their milk delivered in reusable glass bottles from the milkman - to cut down on their plastic consumption.

We know it’s important to take time to spend with family and friends, we give you a completive holiday Creamline Dairies, which runs 120 milk rounds across the region, has seen 1,000 new customers sign up for milk deliveries between January and March this year. Rob, of Little Hulton, starts his shift whatever the weather at 1.30am, delivering milk to Cadishead, Eccles, Walkden, Irlam, Farnworth and Kearsley. Mr Oakes added that these price increases for farmers is likely to be a long-term problem. "The implications of current rises could well last for two years. Feed, fuel and fertiliser are the key inputs and we’re also seeing issues with labour and the costs of labour so we’ve got a whole tsunami of costs coming towards us and it’s really really difficult," he said.

The farming industry has warned that the price of dairy products such as milk and butter could rise by more than 50 per cent in another blow for people during the ongoing cost of living crisis. A 'tsunami' or rising farming production costs has been blamed for this. And as lovely as it looked once completed, we couldn't wait to demolish it so we could start eating it. I don’t drink milk on the job, I don’t really drink much milk to be honest. It is better quality than the milk you get in a supermarket, it tastes better out of the glass bottles as well.”
