I save loads of money buying uht milk, i buy it in asda 12 litres £6 and i know i dont have to worry about it cuz they take a long time to go off, i do prefer fresh milk but i think uht from asda is quite nice.

We don't get fresh milk here. Some of the supermarkets decided to give it a go, to keep the English happy but, as they stored it in the same way as UHT, it was sour way before it got to the fridge.

Sterry and those little bottles that we used to have to force down at playtime, put me off milk for life. I used to have a cousin who could drink the stuff out of the bottle......he is no longer with us and no wonder!

i buy uht too from asda, store in my cupboard then when opened in the fridge much easier,

I had just got back from giving a presentation on "Are liberals correct to believe humans have rights independently of the state? If such rights do exist, what are they and on what basis are they justified?"

I deserve the break!

Who can remember the days when the role of Accington's favourite supplier of emulsified fats was something different than it is now? In fact, way before the ASDA on Hyndburn Road, the firm was up behind Melbourne Street in it's original core business - that of a dairy. ASDA is in fact, short for Associated Dairies. And the ASDA dairy was not the only one in the town - there was the Co-Op dairy up Ossy. There may even have been more.

The problem is that successive Tory and Labour governments have kow-towed to our common market chums, who, with massive subsidies have gained access to the UK liquid milk market; the old Milk Marketing Board has long been abolished and prices are now determined by the Supercrapmarkets. Milk is now shipped and trucked in from abroad and all around the country and it is that which is the cause of the carbon footprint - it certainly has nowt to do with fridges.

For once, Jambutty is right when it comes to crackpots.

UHT means Ultra Heat Treated so they save on refrigeration and spend more on treating the milk. Now I wonder how much energy it takes to heat milk at room temperature to 145 degrees C as opposed to cooling milk from room temperature to a few degrees above 0 C?

See http://www.dairyconsultant.co.uk/pages/UHT_Process.htm or http://www.howstuffworks.com/question147.htm

The instead of local milk going to local dairies it will have to go to UHT centres and there a precious few of them. Of course there are plenty in France. So there will be additional transportation costs there and back.

So where is the reduction in greenhouse gasses?

This is yet another example of the government interfering in our daily lives and putting yet another precedent nail in the citizen control coffin. Once they have enough nails embedded it will come to tranquillisers in the water to keep the mob quiet.

In years to come we, well you actually because I won’t be around then, will be wandering around in a mental fug doing exactly as the government of the day dictates from waking up to going to sleep. They might even find a way of controlling what you dream about.

Far fetched? Possibly! But big oaks from little acorns grow.
