Pulling the thread back to an era when the UK led the World in the number of electric vehicles*.
Raised in Ruislip Manor, just up the road from the headquarters of Express Dairy, in South Ruislip,
I naturally assumed that electric milk floats were the acknowledged standard.
Imagine my surprise, when starting commuting by Tube to Hillingdon (for Swakeleys) station for secondary school, (September '71), I found a local dairy had a bespoke diesel Transit for their deliveries.
[* complete supposition].
