× MILKMAN Pete Watson - who was slashed with a knife as a thief stole his van - has said he ‘can’t go back’ to the job he’s loved for almost four decades.
The 59-year-old was doing his usual rounds on Canal Street at around 6.45am on Wednesday, December 30, when he was attacked, suffering injuries to his hand and face.
His Citroen Dispatch van was stolen, albeit later recovered, and is being held by police as evidence.
Pete has thought long and hard about giving up the job, but - still suffering flashbacks and on anti-depressants after the attack - said he can’t face the risk of returning.
