the grass round my allotment is really overgrown, I have a little
battery strimmer which wont hardly touch it, would a big macho
petrol one do the job, recommendations?

Oh yes, it gives them what for.

I've got a Robin one which I got off freecycle, but I've seen JCB ones
advertised in Aldi occasionally for £59.99 (IIRC)

Don't forget your gloves and goggles, they chuck bits of nettles in all
directions.

The little battery ones are useless. The big petrol ones are the best, I
cannot use my husbands as I find it too heavy so he bought me a Stihl
FS45, around £120 ish. I can handle that fairly easy, Steve is right
they do chuck bits of nettle everywhere :-)
