One in eight UK youth have never seen a real cow

One in eight young people in the UK have never seen a cow in real life, according to a survey.

While they may have spotted a cow on television, 12pc of 18 to 24-year-olds in the UK are so unfamiliar with the countryside they have never seen cattle in person. A fifth said they have never even left the city they live in (18pc).

The research also found a substantial lack of knowledge among young adults when it comes to basic fruit and vegetables.

More than half of those polled did not know strawberries are a summer fruit (54pc) and nine in ten do not know turnips are best grown in the winter.
Over half say it is more than a year since they climbed a tree (51pc), while for 29 per cent it is that long since they swam in a river.

Four in ten confess their knowledge of the countryside is 'poor' or 'extremely poor' (42pc).
Just two in ten believe their knowledge of the countryside is 'good' or 'excellent'.

She had gotten the implants from an unlicensed clinic that is now under investigation. Dealing in complete hypotheticals, Dr. Steinbrech says, "The only way that that could be is if someone took breast sizers, which is basically a balloon that we blow up with saline or air just to see how big the implant is. Moral of this story? Don't get illegal butt injections. Get famous on Instagram by posting pictures of something instead.

Olga Valerio, 49, outed herself as one half of the dynamic duo that sparked the most 911-hotline complaints in the city for loud love. The hairstylist’s partner in the act inside her Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, apartment is a man young enough to be her son, 26-year-old building handyman Byron Perez. Olga’s fourth-floor pad at 7201 Ridge Blvd. was named in a 2015 DNAinfo report as home to the city’s highest number of 911 gripes about clamorous coitus. Neighbors, claiming the couple’s shouts and grunts jolted them awake at all hours of the night, complained a half-dozen times alone in a three-month period, the site reported, citing city data. The happy couple even reportedly shared their own video online. So far, the couple have not proffered any solution to stop cops from bugging their affair.
