If this subject has been raised before then I appologise.

I have a fairly large lawn, about half an acre and as I'm now an old
git
(approaching 70) I need a sit on job. Lawnmower that is.

Do you think its reasonable to be without it for over three weeks
while its
having its annual service. They collect it from my home and then put
it in a
queue while they slowly progress there way through the list.

The mower has a five year guarantee and has to be serviced by the
dealer it
came from. So I am told. Its a Honda, by the way.

If a car went in for a service this way there would be a public
outcry.

Am I alone and being taken for a mug or do others experience this.

Most of the gardeners decide to have a 'service' about April when the
grass needs cutting. Service places take then in so they do not loose
trade and put them in a queue.
The answer is simple. Have the machine serviced in January or February
when there is no queue.
