"bungy lad" a new term for me, any ideas?

[Tickettyboo]

From the Dictionary of  Occupational Terms (http://doot.spub.co.uk)

bungey lad
a milk boy q.v. who helps bungey man (776) q.v. in delivering milk from milk float.

Surely this definition renders all other speculation pointless?  It's quite clear what a bungey lad was.

On balance, I would agree.

thank you to everyone who helped, though Stan has answered my question (right time frame and right area for the usage) I really am grateful for "all" the suggestions.

Great find !
The words "large bungs" in the barrels, caught my eye, because when the question was first posed, I toyed with the idea that barrel bungs could have something to do with the name, but until this post, all I knew was milk was carried in metal churns and I had no idea milk was carried in wooden barrels.
