Derrick Weaver has been a milkman in Birmingham for 44 years.
Join him as he shares his story while making his deliveries around the Harborne area of the city.
His day starts early at 2.15am when he loads his float at the depot, and he delivers milk until 10.30am.
On the way he has been known to be chased by poodles, asked to change old peoples' light bulbs and even find the odd corpse.
