    Louie - if you look carefully you'll see that this thread is over a year old - the problem has been solved by now.  

    Afraid that's what happens when you use random Googling to try to promote your business image

    Can't believe this thread has seen the light of day again. Started reading it and then thought - that's exactly what I think....only to find that I had written the comment image!

    Dove, what do you mean by 'promoting your business'....I am a bit at sea when it come to techno stuff, though I know enough not to click on threads for kitchen units!!

    Just scrolled down and saw Louie's  other thread... now, I know where you are coming from Dove. I think this influx is worse that the foreign gobbledy gook we were struck with before. Hopefully, they will all get lost somewhere between japanese knotweed and manure on this site...image

    Ah! I see what you mean. It reads a bit differently from yours. I then checked mine, nothing on there!! I really should put something on mine - I'll have a think for some flowery language as I pot on my seedlings this morning. image

    I was a landscape maintenance supervisor for 26 years, it was up to me to get the right mower for the jobs we had to do, and they had to put up with some real battering, working in all weathers, I always like the hayter range as it has been said in earlier comments there a good reliable mower, expensive yes, hard working yes, cost against reliability no match, Size of you mower depends on lawn size, the bigger the lawn the larger mower required. The inevitable happened cost came in too the equation. Ten we turned too the Mountfield range not so good but cost effective, but they did'nt last as long.

  • My internet research sugests I have crab grass !

    The research was conducted in true fashion - after I bought a new mower thinking it was the cylinder mower not picking up the long flat pale grass that is taking over, so bought a rotary thinking it might 'suck it up' to the blade. Still waiting for it to grow a bit before the great trail commences.

    Bought a Honda.  I heard that the reaason so many Honda cars on the road due to folk beng impressed with their mowers... bah
