Making Hay in SW19?


Just heard a piece of dialogue in BBC Breakfast TV, suggesting that a man cutting the grass on Wimbledon's Centre Court was exacerbating the hay-fever of the court-side weather reporter. Given the repeated mowing over the tennis competition, I think it very unlikely that the grass gets anywhere near flower production. There might be some dust generated by the activity but clouds of grass pollen seem very unlikely.
