I'm pretty sure if she had acted sooner, she could have got away with a razor. Still, some cultures think it's ok to have a bush like an aborigines armpit.

When your car inevitably breaks down or disintegrates again at Le Mans this year I will still offer you a ride....

So much time talking about garden tools, can we get back to the OP and discuss lawnmowers please?
I think this is the sort of thing you need, should make the job a whole lot quicker so that you can get back to you Maser

Perhaps being the sort of people we are, you have, like me, been seduced into the idea of a verdant sward stretching away from your castle, with the knap detailing stripes that Kim jung un would be proud of.... (A suitable backdrop for your Italian Stallion)
Hence much researching into lawn keeping, drainage, grass type, soil, aeration, etc etc and of course mowers. So having done the due diligence, (we've all been there) it has to be a cylinder mower. BUT you have to have a relatively good lawn to mow in the first place. You can't mow on the remnants of the Battle of the Somme, and you can't expect a good result if you're rather low on actual grass, rather than everything else that seems to grow much more easily!
Keeping a lawn is hard work, and eventually, after much investment in chemicals, you get a rotary....

Actually, I was as pi..... tired and emotional as a rat. I even got an abusive text from Contigo, which was quite amusing.

What a generous offer. I suppose it would take Ben's mind off his wheels for 10 minutes or so.

Please tell me he wasn't proposing to do something unspeakable in your hair..?

I hear you. The lawn in question is <1 year old, so a pretty good place to start.

I'm quite proud of my front garden, having been an overgrown mess of wild foliage and paving stones. The seed was planted in November and now in April it's a luxurious thatch...

My front garden is asphalt
largely due to 2 x children (20 years old+) having a car each, 1 x permanent boyfriend resident, 1 x car and 1 x van (parked on the street), 1 x non permanent resident boyfriend, lastly 1 x wife with the biggest car.
Me 1 x car (Masser in garage) 1 x motorbike, also in garage.
Result
Its like 'Butterflies' some mornings when the car at the back has to get out first.
I have heard comments at the bus stop "looks like a car dealers that house"
If they saw the 3200 in the garage with the bonnet up they would think it was a breakers yard

^^^ I normally leave some old furniture, a broken bed, some fridges and the odd wheel / tyre or broken bath tub on the drive
That way the local pikeys think I am destitute and wont break in

I wouldn't recommend buying a cylinder mower for that sort of money, it will be rubbish.
A rotary mower from Honda or Hayter would be the best bet.
If you want a stripe then you will need a rear roller one, which often costs more.
There is also the choice of push or self propelled.
We sell and service them and have store near Ongar, PM me if you want and I will get someone to give you a call and or a name and a number.

Thanks! When you say 'That kind of money' you mean a £200 cylinder? Yes I expect that would be rubbish. Or do you mean a £50 re-furbed Colt?
Ongar would be very convenient, so PM en route
