Can you get left-handed scythes? And, if so, would I be less crap if I used one of those instead of the right-hander we have here? Does anyone want to bet how many feet I’ll have remaining at the end of this week?

Did you know the word swathe means the width of one stroke of a scythe? Hardly a useful measurement, given that it would vary from person to person. One man’s swathe could be another man’s 3.14 cubits.

Can you get a left handed scythe? Of course you can.

Dammit, Richard beat me to it. What’s the betting there are a fair number of right handers sitting looking rather perplexed now.

Re #1 & 2: Excellent, I’ll place my order in good time for my next day of scything. :)

Stop the press — anyone want to lend me £850 for an electric scythe?
