If anyone was watching GMTV today at around 8:38am, they went to a farm in South Wales, the cows that eat any kind of fruit will produce a fruity milk
e.g. if they eat bananas they will produce banana milk, if they eat strawberries they will produce strawberry milk

Remember last year Exclamation (Slimming water)

Top stories - Fruitshake revolution

En-cow-nter your natural fruitshakeHow to get hold of your free sample of naturally produced fruit-flavoured milk
As the national debate about kids and their diets rolls on, a Welsh farmer has made an amazing discovery which could revolutionise the children's drinks market.

He has managed to make his cows produce fruit-flavoured milk - no additives, no sugar - straight from the cow.

"Cows seemed unwell"

About six months ago John Lougher noticed one of his dairy cows seemed unwell. He called the vet, who told him the cow was lacking in vitamins, particularly Vitamin C. John decided to try his own home remedy, and as oranges are so high in Vitamin C, tried feeding the cow oranges. She loved them, and was soon well again.

But after a couple of weeks, John noticed an amazing side-effect - the cow's milk tasted of oranges!

Feeding experiment

John decided to expand the experiment and started feeding some of his other cows on apples, bananas and strawberries. The result was the same - delicious, fruit-flavoured milk.

John has tried the drinks on children from the area and they all love them. He now plans to go into flavoured milk production full-time.

The National Farmers' Union - of which John is a past regional chairman - believes the discovery could revolutionise the British dairy industry.

In addition, health experts are also getting excited about the discovery, believing it could mean the end of children craving sweet, manufactured drinks.

"Fewer than 15% of girls and 36% of boys get enough calcium"Healthy children

A recent US study reported that children who avoid milk tend to be fatter than children who drink milk. This may be because milk is being replaced by high energy drinks such as soft drinks.

As children move into adolescence, the time they need the most calcium, they tend to drink less milk and more sugary soft drinks.

As milk is a healthier choice, it is worth encouraging children to drink flavoured milk rather than soft drinks and an all-natural, healthy flavoured milk is perfect; as the flavoured milk comes out of the cow already flavoured, it has no chemicals, additives or sugar - it is just naturally delicious.

!!!!Typical GMTV!!!!

APRIL FOOLS DAY. 2005

Well The Times is saying that Jamie Oliver will stand for Ardunel as a Tory candidate, sorry I mean Conservative, we can't call them that anymore.

The Guardian is saying Prince Charles is to become a Tsar of the Country, a new government post and Fox Hunting's to be introduced....

And the Independent is saying some president, who looks really dumb invaded a country despite ignoring warnings and subsiqently effectivly lying to the public. Thats really is a good one......

Any other "broadcast" ones?

** Breaking News ** Ringtone company Jamster placed in administration

The company which brought us the Crazy Frog, Sweety the Chick and countless other animated creatures and ringtones has been placed into administration with spiralling debts totalling nearly a billion pounds.

As the news was announced today, commuters outside Waterloo station rejoiced. One said "No longer will we have to put up with the "argh ding ding ding splutter splutter" of the Crazy Frog on those music channels. Hooray.". Others were sad at the demise of one of the most iconic companies of the new digital age. ®

Here's some links from our most respected news source ...

Good effort by BMW in the Telegraph today. Full page advertisement saying that right hand cars would be banned in the EU from the end of 2007 and to stop it they are introducing cars which don't need steering at all! Amazingly, my old man fell for it.
