We still get the glass milk bottles in Wales.  We get tall bottles with metal 
caps for "Sterilised milk" and the fat thicker bottles with foil caps for the 
pasteurised.  There are three colours of foil top for the pasteurised milk.  
Red for low fat, silver for full cream, and gold for Jersey milk.  If the 
weather is very cold you have to leave something for the milkman to use to 
cover the top of the milk bottles until you go out to get it from the 
doorstep (usually an egg cup or the top of something) because the birds peck 
through the foil caps and drink the cream from the top of the bottles if 
they're left uncovered.
