    DS I have three questions for you:
    1)Which is older?
    2)Did people really wear hats to mow the lawn?
    3)What the funk are you doing looking at mower-porn

    Hey, HTS, don’t knock the Wheel Horse – my parents have two such mighty beasts.

    But I didn’t know Gregg Wallace was into the weird ****

    This is getting silly now.

    Anyway, my neighbour used to wear a tie to do the garden, so a hat is possible.

    Me and a mate helped his dad fix one of these one summer:

    I thought it was Heston Blunderbus and he was going to cook the dafs on the exhaust.

    Ahh, the good old Allen Scythe. I’ve actually used one of these on a marshland wildlife reserve. It weighed a tonne, made a noise like a dying Ford Escort at full throttle and frequently broke down. I also seem to remember it dragging one of my fellow workers through a reed bed when the sharp clutch got the better of him. Happy days…

    Looks to me that hats and lawnmowers are inextricably linked.

    I wouldn’t like to meet the chap that pushes this bad boy.

    That giwltf looks like Fiona Bruce’s red haired older sister (that she doesn’t have).

    The allenscythe was good in principle, but didn’t work well for us. We tried to get the blades cutting as well as we could, but because it only had one speed it was always too fast when propelling itself. So my mate’s dad had to push the thing the whole way, which was extremely difficult to say the least 🙂

    Minimalist mower, maximalist hat.

    I love the idea of there being a ‘maximalist’ school of thought – ace 🙂

    For tonight I’ve got this and four cans of Old Speckled Hen – I just to need to choose an appropriate hat.

    Buzzin’!

    The old boy’s got a decent pair of thighs on him.

    Advance dementia too unfortunately. Remembered his hat and sunglasses – forgot the clothes.

    sobriety I used a Howard Gem a fair bit when I left school. Great bits of kit but can be very hard work.
