I was lucky to see my dad mow more than once a year, so it was needed for the 1 -2 foot tall grass with the late 1970s low arch Waltons store brand Victa 160.
Trouble is the habit stuck when he borrowed my mowers to do regularly cut lawns in later years, despite my protestations!!
I now kind of wish he still did people's lawns just to keep some of my collection exercised.
