Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Ron the Milkman has had an accident...

I've just heard from a neighbour that our milkman, Ron, has crashed his float, and will be on crutches for eight weeks with leg injuries. Ron, who is in his eighties, slipped on ice last Winter and cut his fingers badly from smashing the milk bottles he was carrying. He was supposed to take two weeks off but didn't... I think Ron does some of the ladder as he told me the Wightman Road closure had added an hour and a half to his working day. Tony is currently delivering for Ron.

Ron last November.

If you are doing the ladder in the early hours you can just wind your way from one end to the other, the road closure should have no effect. What am I missing here?

Not sure John. I think Ron got caught with the wider traffic problems, and he wasn't just active in the early hours.

Our milkman delivers at 4am but there's another that is still out delivering around 8am when there's traffic, maybe that's Ron.

I thank God that my neighbours no longer get their milk delivered as being woken my clanking bottles at 4am was driving me mad.

Presumably if he has deliveries to do on Wightman, before the closures he could just whizz up and down the road - now he has to go via the Ladder roads every other street.
