he probably has them hand made by unicorns
Was it this one http://www.waitrosegarden.com/product/_/de-wit-bow-tine-rake/classid.2000010058/
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Prolly Harrods!
I believe it is a broad galvanized steel hand harrow. However links to a page where they could be found only show up a narrow version.

At the price (I gather £89 for the broad version) I guess they didn't sell many.
I was wondering the same thing Richard, but wouldn't pay that for one. I'm struggling to justify £16 on a new border spade as OH broke it digging up a Privet root!!
I saw one of those the other day, Richard. Plastic handle/shaft and blade rivetted on, so the joint's only as strong as the plastic around it. OK for light digging in sandy soil I should think, but unlikely to do heavy duty.
I could pee meself laughing at these 'I wanna blue jacket like Monty' and 'I wanna rake like Monty.....I suppose it does illustrate the influence TV has over people.
