My dislike for Leaf Blowers ( and leaf blower owners!)

[User16390]

Try that tactic with a walnut tree...... your grass will disappear!

Many plants will not live long in the vicinity of fallen Walnut tree leaves and nut husks. The chemical Juglone appears to be the problem.

Leaf blowers found in nature. David Attenborough is planning a documentary about the leaf blowers of the Congo, and garden vacs of the Kalahari.

Sorry to hi-jack, but I would like one of these machines. If you know of a good deal, please let me know. Thanks.

I'm off to the auction next week, looking for a leaf blower. Does that make me a bad person?
Mind you, I went last month, looking for a leaf blower and came away with a bike.

It does make you a bad person, but you could be granted partial forgiveness if you use the bike to get to the auction.

I used to have a leaf-blower. Some friends gave it to me as they never used it and it was cluttering up their shed. It cluttered my shed up for several years before I gave it to a friend who lives in Corby. It's now cluttering his shed up...

The only time I used it was to see if I could play blow football with it, and then attempt to levitate the football like one of those 'keep a ping-pong ball hovering in the air' thingies.

It didn't work. Must have needed a bit more blow factor...

I have some artificial grass. The dyson will block up so I need a blower to suck the debris.

Artificial grass . All the chemicals it takes to make it.....then it does nothing towards replenishing the much needed oxygen. You are a cad and a bounder

You do need to keep Range Rovers running as the electrics implode with water.

This shouldn't be an issue if you just use a hose pipe & buckets when washing the car , a pressure cleaner will blast water into areas where it shouldn't go, and that's probably the case on all cars.

It was a joke - Range Rovers break regularly

Unless they're in Penistone. Where they never brake at all
