Short pants + Fly Mo + bare patch of ground in the lawn = sand eroded
shins and feet = bizarre dancing fetish = really stupid engineering
idea...... please go back to the drawing board.....

OK wise guy, tell us how you cut a 45degree ( or even 60 degree) slope
with any other mower? With a Flymo you simply stand at the top & swing a
rope attached to the machine back & forth - piece of ****!

Having said all that I did end up sledgehammering mine into small pieces -
took some doing too! It was an absolute ******* to start ( even with the
electric drill trick) & after warning it for 20 years, it had to be taght
a lessonGG
