There was a co-op milkman in the 1950's called Billy. He used to mistreat the horse while he stopped for a cuppa at my granny's house in Mons Ave. Eventually the horse had enough and kicked him and he later died of pneumonia. He was replaced by a teddyboy called Geordie.

That would've made an excellent comedy sketch Stan ,him kicking the poor horse, then the horse kicking him from one side the road to the other. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wonder if that was Geordie Morl, who lived next door to us. I seemed to remember him with a horse and cart. Perhaps milk deliveries.

Maria, the Georgie Morl, I knew would be in his late 80’s now. Perhaps the one you knew is the one Stan remembers..
