There is a new town outside of London called Milton Keynes. It was established in 1960s but mostly built since the 1970s. Its now sort of a distant London bedroom community. Anyway, when it was built they put up these concrete cows as a sort of a joke (they may even originally have been paper mache)on themselves. To this day one of the things people mention, when you speak of Milton Keynes is the cows. I have a friend who lives there and this summer I went to his home for dinner. I insisted that I get to see the cows - and here they are for you.
