The Ballbarrow ...` - Finchie (24th Nov 2008 - 20:32:21) Does anyone remember that. I think it was a James Dyson invention. A green plastic wheelbarrow with a large orange ball instead of a wheel. As a kid I am sure I remember a TV advert on a building site with the chaps playing footie with the ball in their tea break ?! While raking the leaves this weekend (GRRR - I hate leaves - especially when they are not from MY trees) I was thinking back to my Dad's ballbarrow - the ball meant it was particularly good at not leaving a wheel track in the lawn. Plus you could buy a massive plastic add on - stick it on top of the barrow - to make the ballbarrow the biggest barrow in the world. Well I thought you might still be able to buy them - can't find one anywhere on the interweb. So if anyone has one that they want to sell - I will buy it off you for a good price. Any other fantastic inventions anyone can think of that have disappeared of the face of the earth ?... Cheers, Finchie [editor - the nearest available is the 'nubarro' details can be found here www.nubarro.com]
