My Faith in Humanity Restored
« on: November 06, 2020, 12:43:19 PM »
I purchased and old lawn mower on eBay from a lady clearing out some of her father-in-laws stuff, this was way back towards the beginning of Lockdown One.

It was an old 1965 Webb Battery electric thing, it's bloody marvelous and still works, anyway I received a letter yesterday from the lady and in it was the original manual for the mower.

Now, I think I can say that most people would just have binned it, but no, she must have gone to effort of looking up the order on eBay to get my address to send me the manual.


Regards and Ride Safe!!

Refreshing compared to so much self centred shite about in our society so often now!!
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....
