Milk crates

In the days before Thatcher stole our breaktime school milk, the bottles were delivered to my Primary school in two differently-coloured crates.
It was crucial that you got your bottle from the green crate because, of course, “Green green, the football team”. Taking one from the red crate was social death, because, naturally, “red red, you wet your bed”.
Milk from the red crate definitely tasted worse as well.
