Addendum to Advert Translations

Was looking at a power scythe on Facebook and came across a sentence I often see on cars. "Was working well when last used."

The translation of this is that it hasn't been used for the best part of a decade, and it's pot luck as to whether it will fire up at all. Caveat emptor!


I wouldn't mind, but the bloody thing was being advertise at £450, which is 60 quid and 150 quid more than similar power scythes that are in full working order.

What are these people smoking? For God's sake get it working before you sell it, else sell it for a song.
