As I think I'm getting OLD, and it is becoming more difficult to start the
pull cord type of mower, I'm looking for an electric start mower, I have
seen one but it is £500, and being a poor old man, that is a bit high, so
does anyone know of a cheaper version?


Go to your local garden machinery dealer (found in the Yellow Pages under
lawnmowers) and test any machine with a Honda engine on it. You'll be
suprised at how easy they are to start and you don't have the maintenance
problem with a battery over the winter.

Most dealers worth their salt won't sell you an electric start machine
unless you have a heart condition or a serious shoulder/arm problem.
