Is there such a thing as a Milkman now a days. I haven't seen one of those float thingies in years. I think everyone just buys milk from the supermarket at a dirt cheap price.
A change in career could be on the cards for the near future and am currently thinking about becoming a milkman, obviously I will start off with just the one cow and one electric float, if anyone has sound advice on the pros and cons of such a scheme I would be thankful for your guidance. Asking for a friend.

OP, I see that you are in Lincolnshire, and I presume that your ‘friend” is too.
Your business venture is unlikely to succeed. You see, everyone in Lincs has a cow of their own. I understand thar this is the way of county folk.
You will do better to set up a dairy within the M25. My research [based on a sample dof 1] suggests that no one within the Metropolitan area has seen a bovine beast. With such scarcity, you could command eleventy pounds per cup of your fine milk. Or at least, cop-off with the lady of the house.
Good luck.
We get milk delivered twice a week.
Eggs too so get a chicken.
Its delivered about 2 in the morning so not left out in the heat.
Idea is definitely a goer.
Not sure about wearing your auto, but if you have a Fitbit or similar, I think you will be onto a winner
Don’t wear an auto. The repetitive motion of the wrist is terrible for the movement. They are designed for the slow loop of a watch winder, or better still remaining in the box so you can neither scratch the watch nor wear out the movement.
Suggest something with minimum 300pt MR, calcium release valve, and a soft absorbent leather strap.

Has this something to do with the udders in the 'norks' thread?

Pull the udder one
It's not so much whether he has a cow or not, we're a friendly lot here and often lend items of a farming nature, surely its about whether any selfwinding mechanical timepiece could cope with the stress. i personally would go for a Westclox in a nice see through re-cycled bag and wind it by hand
A Moovado would be my choice.

Can we have a pic of the nipples involved???
Milk hatch for us northerners to have milk dropped off
Wouldn't it be fresher and easier if you put the cow on the back of the float and milked it to order?

Just when it seems the world is going bonkers we can always rely on the stalwarts at TZ-UK to come up with radical solutions for our 'internet ready' world.
I can see it now, happily munching cud while supplying fresh milk and cream at the customers door, only too pleased to be free from the confines of the dairy farm.
Easily franchised, float, cow and a years supply of turf and we are ready to rock and roll... happy days

It seems Holstein Fresians give 25/50L per day or Jerseys give 12/25L per day, that seems like a lot of cow for not a lot of milk returned per day! and supermarkets sell it for £1.50 per litre ....how do our farmers survive?
Our local Japanese restaurant have wagyu beef on the menu, apparently the cow gets to drink Saki and is massaged daily before meeting the end customer so to speak but at least it had a lovely time up until then.
Another 'friend' of mine has a few cattle, I shall make a few enquiries as to the possibility of getting one of the ladies 'up the duff' and ready to pilot the project (assuming it is fit for purpose) Now to find a catchy moniker for the brand...

We use so much milk in this country, perhaps we should have a third tap in the kitchen? In summer the tap would dispense yoghurt, in the winter, ice-cream.
