Hello everyone.


I am a student currently studying in the Mechanical Engineering
department at the University of Sheffield. For my dissertation an
engineering company has asked me to review their lawn mower handling
system design, and part of the preliminary research is to find out what
difficulties people face when performing tasks in the garden.


If you have a spare 5 minutes (that's all it will take max), please have
a look at my online survey and help me out. In order to make the design
as ergonomic as possible, we're looking to focus on people over the age
of 50.


The survey is at:www.kwiksurveys.com/?u=gardening


I look forward to reading your opinions. Thanks very much,


Simon

I suppose that to nippers at Uni, anyone over 50 is "old" :-(

Try those over 70, things 'start' to slow down then.

From the look of you in Shanklin the other day Mike, things slowed
down and stopped many years ago.............must even be a struggle
putting your apron and stockings on when you go down the lodge of an
evening.................lol
