Yes I saw that thread but the penny just dropped regarding the source after

I visualised those bundles of old cartons flattened out and tied with string.

Now I take more notice of piles of rubbish left out for council pick up....lol

Don't know why it was just marge containers

Pity they weren't worth something,   lol

My grandmother used to keep the foil lids from milk bottles  And a lot of other stuff as well.  Probably every Womens Weekly ever published.  What a clean out that was when she died.  Family gave up trying to sort it in the end and it all went into a skip.

I am old enough to remember using the foil milk bottle tops to make bells for the Christmas tree.  It kept the kids happy for hours.

I fondly (!) remember being on milk bottle duty at school in the mid 1970s and drinking the warmish milk ick. Oh and the sound of the milkman....

My grandmother was a school teacher and kept my kids in milk bottle tops.   All she had to do was put out the word that she wanted the tops and they rolled in.  The kids were only too pleased to help the teacher.  It was a bit of a badge of honour to collect more tops than the next kid.
