I know exactly what you mean here, Alex. I have a workman's Utilikilt which is reserved for gardening/car washing/etc. I never receive any comments whatsoever when working outside, and I have a corner plot exposed to one busy and one quieter road. Even when I am working on the grass verges at the roadsides, there is not so much as a friendly, or aggressive, toot from passing vehicles.

By the way, when you have finished hoeing your garden you're very welcome to come down and help me clear the Autumn leaf-fall which, I am ashamed to say, still covers my lawns ....... it has been far too wet to get out there with my leaf blower/vacuum. I'll have no grass left by Spring!!!

PS: I cannot afford to pay you, but I'll keep you fed - I've plenty of Christmas left-overs!
