I want one!

Seen today being used by a council employee on a steep grass bank at the
side of a road - what a great toy! Four Wheel Drive as well!



As one of my temporary jobs in the dim and distant, I did some hospital
cleaning. We have Reckitt & Coleman scrubber/policher machines. Unlike
some, the handles locked solid to the base. So tipping the handle up
caused the machine to move to the right; down to move to the left. (Or
was it the other way round?)

You could lower the handle to be parallel to the floor, wrap the flex
around the switch, and feed out flex. Had one working at around 30 feet
away. Amazingly, still in control. Not wireless, of course, but great
fun. One wheel drive, steering ... and buffing.

(H&S - what's that?)

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
