My kids love their milk but like the taste of Pauls brand the best. Even when I pull off the label of the home brand they know if its not Pauls - which costs considerably more than the home brand. (sods law!)

Personally, never touch the stuff as I am not a calf.
Humans are the ONLY beings that drink milk after weaning and for sure the only beings that drink milk from a totally unrelated species (except when we feed it to our pets of course).
What? we are becoming obese? What? lactose intolerance increasing?

Still, that's another story...........

Much better as Aussie cows don't have mad cow disease.

Though they do have an interesting cocktail of grown hormones in them. Yum.

There are many brands and varieties. They range from total crap to bloody marvellous. It really will be a matter of finding what you like as we all have different tastes.

The best national brands I have found are Pura light start and woolies hi-lo. Woolies regular tastes foul!

Best local Perth: Harvey fresh lite (their regular should be of similar quality) and Brownes Hi-Lo

My in-laws have filled a 3 hour VHS tape of CBeebies every week for the last couple of years and mailed them over. If you PM me your address, I can post a couple to you! There are some Come Insides ... I can't watch them without thinking about Ronnie Barker chasing her as Nurse Gladys Emmanuel!

My favourite milk is the one I get from our fruit market. Think it's called Fabulous or somat like that. Anyway the reason I like it so much is because it's only $1.90 for two litres ;) And guess what, it comes from cows and tastes of milk :D

I just wanted to add that the soya milk tastes much nicer here. I buy the Sanitarium So Good. Also I have found that all the cafes I have been to have had the option of soya milk, which is a big help to me as I can't have cows milk. :D

and on that note.....don't bother trying to give blood because if you spent any time in the UK in the 80's they won't take it just incase you are secretly carrying CJD.

Oh come off it! It tastes just the same lol, I know some think the grass is greener over there but it still wouldn't affect the cows milk!
But then again when I was in Aus I wasn't there to compare everything to UK, so the milk tasted just like milk does everywhere.
