I was actually very surprised when I first moved to UK to find that milk here spoils within a few days of purchase, I was so used to UHT milk that we would normally buy several cartons of, and then it would last months(obviously only few days after opening, but we could conceivably buy a 6-month supply and just keep it in the basement for later consumption). Nowadays I found where to buy UHT milk in the UK, it gets me some weird looks from my friends but the convenience of not having to go to a store to buy fresh milk every few days is absolutely worth it.
