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" :-(


According to the powers that be anyone over 50 is an "Elderly Person"


Do you have a reference for that?
Google seems to think that you are an 'elderly person' when you reach
state retirement age.

If you get involved with issues affecting older people you will soon
find out.
Your local council will probably run a Senior persons network for those
over 50 - or they may have off-loaded it by now to a third sector
organisation. All part of the Strategic Partnership/Local Area
Partnership type crap.
