Neighbour's lad, 21ish, always moves his car before mowing grass for his Mum. Also asks if mowing it while our caravan was on the drive was OK. Mower is a Flymo and, albeit fitted with a grassbox, tends to scatter a light sprinkling of clippings about.
The good Dr Hessayon's lawn care book from 60+ years ago recommends walking the lawn to check for debris before mowing. A habit my father kept particularly when mowing our paddock with a massive Allen rotary mower.
