Free milk - Emily Wainfelt (7th Jul 2025 - 21:44:26) Hi there, I meant to order 6 pints of full fat milk from Tesco but accidentally ordered 600 x 6 pints, and the store are refusing to take back the 599 bottles I don’t want! Would anyone be interested in a bulk order of milk? It’s in date until 15th July and is currently being stored in my shed in Linford. The email address given bounces back. I can find nobody with the surname Wainfelt in Lindford or anywhere to be honest. I suspect this was just a fake posting.

Re: Free milk - AA (8th Jul 2025 - 12:03:04) Have you tried food banks and advertising on the olio app? I can't believe they would refuse to take these back at least in part or just query this in the first place! Not the time of year to be having to store this either. Maybe someone has some spare fridge space at least to keep things for longer...

Re: Free milk - Ian. (8th Jul 2025 - 17:33:41) I can't believe that Tesco didn't contact this lady to check if this order was correct, before processing it.

Re: Free milk - D (8th Jul 2025 - 18:37:21) Think of the logistics here, how many pallets is 599 six pint containers of milk? All in their relatively small delivery vans? Incredible. Next time I'm in Sainsbury's (other local supermarkets are available, oh they're not are they) I will work out how many of their trollies this would be.

Re: Free milk - AR (9th Jul 2025 - 18:13:41) Curdled by now in a shed and not in a fridge...

Re: Free milk - Joe (9th Jul 2025 - 18:19:57) Surely the cost alone on final total of shopping would make you look at the bill? Thats at least 1200 for the milk alone. Surely you would notice ?

Re: Free milk - C (9th Jul 2025 - 19:02:00) Never made a mistake Darren?? Hope the milk is able to be used.

Re: Free milk - Sherlock (9th Jul 2025 - 21:39:40) Quick search, I found “Wain's felt" likely refers to the felt material used in the distinctive and colourful artwork of Louis Wain, an English artist known for his anthropomorphic cat illustrations. Cats drink milk. The painter’s wife was called Emily. So we have Emily Wain-felt. Could this be the background to the name and post? Or have I curdled the plot!
