I hope your article about For/ Against changing clocks twice a year (see here) was an April fool joke.

“Cows stopping giving milk for two days.” This from a Brussels MEP who can have a great impact on our lives. They could, of course, be French cows deciding to strike to teach the humans a lesson...
