Me too. But it tells us something we already knew about Auntie Beeb's

shears and secateurs. Coming soon: a four-pronged spade.

I used to have a neighbour who didn't seem to know the difference
between shears and kitchen scissors. Took her a day to edge her lawn


Mind you, she also used to vacuum the lawn after cutting it! And put
the sprinkler out whenever it rained. She said it was to help the rain
soak into the ground. OK, she had the best front lawn in the street!
