Surely those lighthouses are automated? No need for milk there.
All UK lighthouses have been unmanned for many years. Scheveningen must be
the same.

It was a joke made by Vicki, AFAIR
They aren't light houses, they are navigation lights marking the
entrance to Scheveningen harbour. The Scheveningen lighthouse is
behind the location of the camera.

besides that the Dutch don't put milk in tea, nor do they have milkmen
who deliver milk.
Terschelling still has a manned light house, The Brandaris

Do we have milkmen in the UK who deliver milk now? I know that you didn't
say we did, but who has milk doorstep delivery now?
When I was a lad and travelling to work there was ALWAYS a milk float
slowing up the traffic. I never see one these days. The journey to work is
still slow without them. Increase in cars on the road I assume.

Quite a few people on my street.
A friend is married to a milkman too.

'Milk and more' deliver lots of stuff other than milk.
