YMMV / Only Fools And Horses S 3 E 02 Healthy Competition

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Del's indirectly warning Rodney and Mickey about the broken lawnmower engines — was he genuinely trying to make sure Rodney didn't screw the pooch on his first day in business, and just couldn't be specific about the lot he was selling because he'd have clued all the other potential buyers into his scam? Or was it Schmuck Bait designed to trick Rodney and Mickey into buying the engines, and thus allowing Del to immediately recoup the money Rodney took out of Trotter's Independent Traders?
