Gas strimmers are horrible machines!
Yesterday I worked at a community garden. I was handed a gas strimmer and because time was short I agreed to use it. What a miserable piece of kit! Not only did it pollute everyone's air, throw up a cloud of debris, it also isolated everyone present with the infernal racket it makes. It turned what had up to that point been a congenial work party into drudgery. I longed for a quiet and efficient scythe.

Hey Robb, yes, strimmers (gas AND electric) ought to be banned in favour of scythes. Just to give the campaign a boost, get your buddies to watch the new film version of Anna Karenina, which features a line-mowing scene, shot on Salisbury Plain in the UK. That's me seventh from the left. Film out in the UK on 7th September. Unsure when/if it will be released in the US, but here's hoping. Meanwhile, for some vids of scythe vs strimmer races, take a look here:
