Mamy, many years ago when i was little, you could buy new heads for yard brushes that came with two holes drilled in them, to accomodate the broom shaft in different positions. My Father told me the other hole was to put a candle in, so you could sweep up at night! I think i was about 14 before i realised that the candle would blow out as soon as you moved the broom .. D'Oh !
