Someone posting in search of help to create the perfect lawn reminded me of this one.
A new world tourist and his wife were visiting Canterbury cathedral, and he was mightily impressed by the beautiful green outside. As he was watching someone dressed in corduroy and pushing a wheel barrow appeared. Approaching him the tourist asked how one achieved such a beautiful lawn?
"First you prepare your ground, dig it fertilise it, roll it and level it.
Then you select your seed to match the growing conditions, sandy, loam, clay, full sun or shade.
Then you lets it grow 'til it is about four inches tall and then you mows.
And you mows and you mows for about four hundred year.
That was a favourite of my uncle, a Kentish farmer, another was,
The city slicker was watching the farmer planting potatoes, then he got the roller out and started rolling them in.
"What are you doing that for?"
"Thought we'd have 'em mashed this year."
