Hi, has anyone else just heard on Gardeners Question Time the new rules for lawn mowers. they are saying that they will come under the same rules as a car as regards to what they throw out. will this also include rotovate rs and strimmers. Someone please tell me that I have fallen for an April Fools joke.
April Fool's joke? Hey, didn't think of that!.....thought you could only 'do' jokes before mid-day?....there again, I remember seeing the spaghetti tree on an early evening programme that year....carbon emissions, MOT-type thingies for petrol & diesel engines....and airbags and seatbelts for safety?
::)
I was giggling away as I drove, listening to this. The trouble is, with such a big-brother type state these days, I wouldn't be surprised if someone in government thought it was a good idea.
It was the airbags that gave it away.

Loved that touch 8)
Have to admit it got me for a while. Was about to tell OH about it - all indignant like - when it dawned what the date is. :)
Wonder how many people will be writing to their MP. ;D
What about if you have a goat to keep the grass down, will its emissions have to be monitored as well? :D
It's cows' emissions that are getting everyone's goat at the moment ;D
Not in this house, it isn't ;D ;D
Another silly thought, could I get a Sat Nav. for my strimmer. (hand free of course)
Only when I get Radio 4 on my hover mower!
;D
