Your JBR reminded me of my last trip. We stayed in private villa and on lawn day a young man arrived with a newish whipper snipper. Spent 1 hour trying to start it while we swam in pool and drank bintang. He continued to persist with snipper and declined our offer of beverage. Patience of a saint!! Not 1 cross word, no tantrum. Gave up after a good 90 mins and out came the hand held hedge clipper and away he went. Did a darn good job too. I did deliver a beverage after such a sterling effort and would not take no for an answer.
My country, my home, whipper snipper don't start after 10 pulls hubby throws it down the steep bank we live on and storms off to pub!
