I think I just heard this phrase on the radio:
“…meanwhile, over on Radio 4 long wave, lawn mower racing…”
A bit of digging reveals racemower.co.uk, and the fact that today is the British Lawn Mower Racing Association’s annual 12 hour race.
“As the grasshead racers gun their Atcos and Qualcasts round a field in Dorset at a dizzying 35mph, Murray [Walker] is moved to pick up his commentator’s microphone once more to describe this most spectacular, and democratic, of motor sports. ”
I’d better go tune in…
