Whats the milk like out there.?My littlun drinks gallons of it.Does it taste the same as our supermarket stuff or is it completely different?

Its all white and milky , the air is the same too as is the water.

Oh nowt on telly too Bring DVDs

Bringing loads of DVD's .Complete set of the Simpsons is thier fave at the mo

actually.....they aren't as big into semi-skimmed and skimmed as they are in the UK. But being as it's your little one whose drinking it you probably get full fat anyway. Don't forget to read the labels as the ones with red tops won't necessarily be skimmed etc. etc.

We arrived 5 days ago and my 3 and 5 year old have been guzzling the stuff just as much as they did in the UK, without passing any comment on the taste.

Cool .He's 4.In reply to the other poster ..nope he drinks semi skimmed.

My son has never been big on milk but has milk with this cereal. He hates cream and anything too creamy. He likes 'Rev' it's usually sold in bright red cartons.

Duing my first shop I spent ages hovering around the milk fridges. There is a big selection but once you've had a look it's not complicated. Personally, I like skimmed so buy skinny milk.

Just wait 'til you gotta order coffee. Now that's complicated......

Don't bother, just watch a week of Channel 10 if you want to catch up on the last decade of the Simpsons!

Aussie chocolate milk was a big plus point in the will we/won't we debate for a move to Aus - it beats the hell out of the UHT plastic bottles of brown pink and yellow stuff you buy in the UK. You can also get Nesquik powder and Crusha liquid equivalents. There're also straws full of little balls that flavour plain milk (or in our kid's case "soy drink") as it comes up the straw.

Yeah totally different as the cows spend all their time upside down it kinda curdles the milk

We brought over a few DVD's of CBeebies. ABC Kids shows a few of the CBeebies shows and has Aussie Playschool. However, they don't show 'Come Outside' I do miss Auntie Mabel and Pippin

personally I think the milk is better here.....even my kids commented on how yummy it was

Same here. The 97% fat free actually tastes like milk, even I am drinking it.

Hi-Lo milk is nice...had my first taste of milk this week since being here

Depends on the kind of milk. As you've already said semi-skimmed, apparantly that tastes the same. I drink full fat and its all homogenised here so tastes completely different.

At least 93 different varieties (slight exaggeration). You've got skinny (skimmed), light (semi) and the other stuff. To me Pauls smarter (their semi) is probably the most like home but my daughter loves Rev which I think is disgusting. Taste a few and you'll eventually find one you like.
