A LOCAL milkman has been thanked by customers for working long hours.

Chris Wilson Dairyman has been left countless thank you notes from his customers.

The businessman, who has had to resort to closing to new customers, has been working 14-hour days in a bid to keep up with demand.

He shared a picture of his daughter Eva who particularly liked one of the thank you notes left for him on a doorstep.

In the letter the customer said: "To Mr Milkman, thank you for being so kind and bringing our milk."
