On my local common today - grass kept short as it's mainly playing fields,

strimmer. Doing path borders. Creating the most amazing amount of dust.
Wonder what jobsworth sent him out?

it would be an agrred contract. "Strim path edges monthly."


Except that they tend to cut the grass in March when there is bugger
all to cut, then you don't see them for 2 months by whcih time it is
about 8 inches high, so when cut it smothers the grass and causes
moss.

So they buy a big fleet of mowers. They cut the grass in all
the parks in March and then put all the mowers away. Then 2 months
later they get them all out again.
In the meantime the drivers of these mowers or maybe its operatives
nowadays will have been sat the canteen playing cards. Or possibly
engaging with their mobile phones.

No wonder the Council Tax is so high.
