ITV News reports:

Takeaway food delivered by drones from the sky just minutes after being ordered. This isn’t science fiction - it's an everyday occurrence in parts of Dublin, and it could be coming to the UK this winter.

For nearly two years, start-up company Manna has been offering drone deliveries in Ireland for €1.99 (£1.72) to the customer (though the supplier incurs some additional costs too).

First-time mum Kim says:

I find getting out of the house to get milk so difficult. I just want a cup of tea.

I doubt if Father Ted's Mrs Doyle would approve.

There used to be someone called a milkman who delivered milk and other groceries as part of everyone's regular daily routine - for free - along with optional hanky-panky (e.g. Ernie - the fastest milkman in the west).

But now milk has to be flown in.

Bonkers!
