Edinburgh dad hoovers lawn to son's disbelief in hilarious lockdown video

Being cooped up inside during the coronavirus lockdown has seen the internet flooded with ideas of how to keep busy while in the confines of your home.

But one Scots dad seems to have found an activity no-one else has yet thought of - giving his garden a hoover.

His son Bradley Reid hilariously caught the moment his old man Martin gave the artificial grass outside their home in the Liberton area of Edinburgh a good hoover.

The 25-year-old said his dad, 51, had already been out for his government-sanctioned one form of exercise for the day and cleaned the house, so was looking for something else to do.

In the clip uploaded to Twitter, a bemused Bradley shouts down to Martin from his bedroom window and asks: "Ho, are you hoovering the grass!?"

And in a moment of comedic timing perfection, he gets the reply: "Aye....obviously!"

Talking to the Record, Bradley said: "He’s obviously needing out the house.

"The part that gets me is he reckons it's just a normal thing to do!

"Hopefully it'll give people a good laugh during these crazy times."
