Perfect Excuse for eating Mackie's Ice Cream

First Prize for a years supply of ice cream goes to
K Stocker from Glasgow for her perfect excuse;
Whatever the moo'd.....Mackie's is goo'd

Runners up C Onabanjo from London and Mrs Foster from Devon each received 10 ice cream vouchers for their efforts;

Because I'm stressed, and stressed backwards spells Desserts, and Mackie's is the only Dessert on my mind.

Mackie's ice cream is for all seasons! Delectable, delicious, what better reasons?


COWS IN ACTION - WINNERS
We have enjoyed the creative suggestions received for what the Mackie's cows might build for themselves - thank you - Prof McCoo would be very impressed! Here are our ten winners' suggestions

AN EDIBLE MILKING PARLOUR
"Cows might build a milking parlour made out of silage, so they can be milked and eat their favourite food whilst doing so. My grandads cows live in the field and it's not fair when its raining because they cant use umbrellas and have to shelter under a tree."
from Matthew Barnes, age 5, Lancashire

A BEAUTY PARLOUR
"I think Mackie's cows could build the machines to equip a Beauty Parlour (after all they are ladies!). There would be a Shampoo and Shower machine (like a car wash only gentler!), a Tail Combing machine, an Eyelash Curling machine and many Udder machines of the type found in Beauty Parlours!"
from Norah Sinclair, Warwickshire

A MOOSAGER
"I think the cows might build a moosager to help them relax after all their busy adventures and milk producing for the delicious Mackies ice cream."
From Laura Annsforde, Ledbury

AN ICE CREAM IGLOO
Mackie's cows would build an igloo out of Mackie's ice cream, to keep them cool in the summer.
From Alexandra Blue, West Sussex

A ROCKET
The Mackie's cows should build a rocket, as everyone knows that cows want to get to the MOOn. Cows have wanted to achieve this feat ever since hearing the nursery rhythm, Hey diddle diddle. There have been many failed attempts by cows trying their hardest to leap over the moon, but only getting a few feet off the ground. A rocket would be the answer and would be one giant leap for mookind.
From Jason Cripps, Reading, Age 10 and his mum

A PPP- PAT - POWER- PRODUCER
First, the cows would build a PPP - a "pat-power-producer". These cows are
green and want to help save the planet... so using their cow pats they can
power any other machinery they might want to make, including the home cinema
which is next on their list!
From Louise Wellenkamp, Reading

A DANCE MAT
Cows listen to music whilst they are milked, do they not? It must be frustrating to have to stand still whilst being milked, and resist the urge to boogie. I reckon they might try to build a dance mat, so they could dance on the spot. They would make cow earphones so they could all listen to personalised tracks, or even the Archers if they felt like a break - and they'd all wear cow glasses so they could see their individual screens. They'd be Mackie's mechanically minded, movin' and a groovin', moo cows!
From Kay Wilkinson, Colne, Lancashire

A COWAOKE MACHINE
The cows would build a "Cowaoke" machine so that they could sing along with their all time favourite moo-sic in the milking parlour - I'm in the Moooood for Dancing, Elvis's Mooo Suede Shoes, Moodonna's Crazy for Moo, Offspring - Hoof you Heifer , Mooka - Any Udder World. They plug in their MP3 (Moo Party 3) players then sing and dance so much the milk comes out as ready made milkshake!
From Cheryl Pasquier, Hastings, East Sussex,

A MOO-VIE THEATRE
The Mackies cows could build a moovie theatre so that they could watch their favourite moovies while they are being milked, and a video camera so that they can record a fitness video called Moove With Mackies Moocows.
From Sally Bruce, Kettering, Northants

A JUKE BOX
"My suggestion for what the Mackie's cows might build is an amazing juke box that works by a cow nudging the front with different coloured panels for different styles of music such as rock,pop,classical etc. My Dad's cows used to milk better when the radio was on so if the cows could choose their own music then there should be loads of milk for you to make lots of ice cream with."
from Catherine Joyce, Preston, Lancashire
