Mr. Creevey's Profession

[Jennifer Boggess Ramon]

I was musing on the "mixed time" feel of the HP books - some 
descriptions of the Muggle world seem to be fifties-ish or 
sixties-ish, while other bits (computers and Playstations) are modern 
times, or at least nineties-ish, and the Wizarding world is a muddle 
of pseudo-medieval, pseudo-Elizibethan, and pseudo-Victorian 
trappings - when something occurred to me.

Colin Creevey states in CoS that his father is a milkman.  I had 
semi-unconsciously sorted this as one of the fifties-ish details 
about the story.  I am now wondering if it is, instead, a cultural 
detail.  Would one of the British listies be so kind as to tell me 
whether there are still milkmen in Britain (or, more to the point, if 
there were circa 1992)?

Thanks,
