Jon: If you saw Country file this week (on BBC1), you would have seen the cows milking themselves. Some farms have installed a machine whereby the cows, when they feel the udder full, make their OWN WAY to this particular barn and stand in the right place whereby a robot milking machine attaches "milkers" to the teats and milks the cow without any human being there. Apparently milk yield has gone up 40% and the quality of the milk has gone up as well as the cow are no longer distressed waiting to be milked. Apparently, "normal" cows get milked twice a day by humans. When the cow is left to its own, it milks itself FOUR times a day. Do we even need farmers? AND, more importantly do we need Winter time? Max No no no, I LIKE being different to Europe. We invented standard time, we SHOULD be different to everyone else! Jon /www.databaseadvisors.com
