Lawn Mower Clippings

  • Stan a retired greenkeeper  knows a thing or two about grass but 365 lawnmowers – wow!
  • To house the treasures he has a two story garden shed – now there is an idea, I never have enough room.
  • Stan’s oldest is an 1862 Penny Mower which still works and he describes it as ‘a brilliant machine’.
  • Makes in the collection include Ransome, Suffolk, and the £2,000 Follows and Baites Climax.

Have you heard the joke about my Lawn?  It’s  weedy.

I must have been smoking grass to put that in! Turf it out in the next edition (ed)

What do you call a cow who works for a gardener?  A lawn moo-er.
