G'day all - again
One finally point that may be interesting, amusing or disturbing.
Tyler raised an interesting point about the Aussie male psyche and the Lightweight
name sort of neutered that whole thing. Advertising is all about inflating
egos. Lawnmower naming has certainly followed other, broader, conventions.
There must be a truth in that - about branding name and size.
Big is better ... right? ...
For the record, I do believe it was Merv Richardson was responsible
for convincing us that 18 inch should be the standard size for an AUS rotary.
It was certainly the standard in the 20th Century.
Nowadays, the toy-like mowers offered make the Lightweight look totally masculine!
We are living in the age of the domestic metro-sexual lawnmower.
Cheers
