Yes, here they do. As for the TV: Till the late 80ies we had only 3 channels, and they didn't broadcast during the night.

We have many bookmobiles to supply especially the kids in rural areas, and from Denmark come "bogbusserne" for the Danish people living here:
   
Herb: Ice-man - yes (still tours the villages), coalman - yes (also steam engines for regular trains), milkman - I was sent to the next farm each second day to get milk. But early each morning came the baker to drop fresh buns on the people's doormats. And I still get the newspaper on my doormat each morning!

Roger: We, too, had a grinderman coming around every now and then.

And I still appreciate my record player and vinyl collection!
One thing I'd definetly not like to have back: school on Saturdays!
