"In agreement with Vic on this one, if I could get paid with a pair of secateurs in my hand all day I'd be quite happy but is it achievable? Possibly but I imagine would take an awfully long time. Cutting grass and mowing hedges are the most common…"

Speaking as an exhibitor, I thought it was OK. First day was busy; second day a bit disappointing but still some good quality enquiries. we shall exhibit again next year.
