What? In big cities, maybe. In the rest of the country they're usually a Transit or bag of dung LDV.
I once dared to watch our local milkman drive past my house. He slammed the anchors on, in the middle of a busy road, got out and walked towards me, shouting I shouldn't look at people like that.
A bit silly of him, as there we're 4 of us, all working on the front garden, I have a pneumatic drill in my hands, the other 3 chaps had an arrangement of hammers and sharp pointy things.
I don't quite see what was wrong with me looking at his s
tty van for 2 seconds.

Yeah, there's a butcher's mobile shop comes round twice a week too, fresh meat and all the usual bread and milk etc. Proper mobile shop with refrigerated display cabinets, the lot.
A local farmer delivers spuds once every two weeks as well. Got to love N. Ireland for that sort of thing, means all the dole scroungers don't have to drive to the shops in their Motability cars.

The local milkman round these parts delivers at around 11am and the dustmen around 9am. I remember the days were you never saw these people.
Maybe in this modern world and with the ability for cheaper milk from supermarkets that they need to travel further afield for customers an electric cart is no longer an option due to limited range.
Perhaps he has no idea how loud his clattery old diesel is? Have you spoken to him?

Do you lot have windows made of paper? or do your milkman drive up your drive and park next to your bedroom window?
Im not surprised he doesn't switch off his engine, if he did that for every house, he would need a mahoosive battery.

Alternatively OP why not offer to get get at 4am to buy milk on behalf of your neighbours from the local 24hr Tesco and deliver it at 5am, thereby removing the need for the milkman to stop outside your house.
