The point of my post is that a guy came to look at it yesterday and

£100, I think that is a bit much or am I out of touch with prices.

Prices vary depending on where you live but the chap that cuts our lawns
charges £11 per hour and supplies his own equipment. You're being ripped
off!

Yes I thought that and sent him on his way. It is difficult to find peeps to
do any jobs, in the old days every village had a couple of odd job men happy
to earn some extra cash but not any more. I would do it myself but the mower
is heavy and I cannot start it :-) I will keep on looking.

If you buy a new lawn mower that you can use you could cover the cost of
the mower within a couple of cuts at £50 an hour
