I don't think implied that. He didn't make any value judgement. The
interpretation was entirely yours.

'the build quality is totally
different. The deck on the Honda is thicker, quality of the frame, bag,
axle, height adjusters is just not the same. '
He then goes on to mention the ownership of the company, why?
It must in his opinion have a bearing on the quality of the product
otherwise why mention it?

He said:
"Before, anyone comes along and says, I've had a Mountfield for 25 years
and it's done a sterling job. They were sold about six years ago and

as a
company don't exist anymore, only as a brand/name and all machines are

now
manufactured in Italy/Sweden."


This amplifies his comment that Mountfield, formerly a builder of
mowers in the UK, was now merely a brand. He said nothing to suggest he
considered Italian or Swedish manufacture inferior or superior. It was
you who brought in that interpretation.
