WARNING! Gardeners war-up or end-up in wheelchair!!!

Gardening is no longer an enjoyable injury-free hobby for the retired. Gardening is no longer a pleasurable harmless pastime for the unemployed. Gardening is in fact as dangerous as playing a competitive sport such as football or rugby, we were told today.

Many doctors in UK warned us today that gardening is dangerous and it needs to be taken seriously. One British doctor said: “instead of throwing yourself into the hobby, warm up just like a professional footballer and I am serious.”

Many hospitals up and down Britain have experienced a surge in gardening-related injuries (such as axe-in-head) in the past four weeks. This swell is due the current economic climate. Many people are more and more becoming unemployed and when a sunny day arrives they throw themselves into gardening and mow the whole lawn for 3 hours; those are the ones who are more likely to come down with an injury.

Although, doctors inform us the benefits of gardening for example a 30-minute-gardening activity a day will reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels, they warn gardeners that if you don not warm-up like a premiership footballer you will end-up in a wheelchair.

Senior citizens and unemployed folks please warm-up before you mow the lawn!!!
