Similar at my local Do it All - just one mower on display.
It will soon be Christmas all year if we don't put our feet down.

Had to visit Homebase, Staines yesterday and they had a whole isle full of
mowers.
However, if you look in your local Yellow Pages you should find a garden
machinery supplier near you and they will usually have the full range all
year round.
Saw a lovely yellow JCB lawn tractor the other day at
http://www.davidjattfield.co.uk/ all I now need is the excuse of a big lawn.

It's on the JCB website, but it's not made by JCB, but it is one of the
better products they have branded, most of their other branded products are,
to use the technical term fairy shite.

Garden centres are for plants, if you want a lawnmower, pick up the Yellow
Pages and look under lawnmowers. Where you will find garden machinery
dealers that sell lawnmowers all year round.

Garden centres are for plants, if you want a lawnmower, pick up the Yellow
Pages and look under lawnmowers. Where you will find garden machinery
dealers that sell lawnmowers all year round.

Plus, they offer spares, repairs, sharpening and servicing, and can
help you choose the right machine for your needs. They'll usually fuel
up your choice and let you try it before buying. Gardencentres and
"sheds" don't offer those valuable benefits and expertise, and they
don't stock such a wide range either.

M&S also today! The area that contained clothes last week is now full
of Christmas stuff! Has anyone heard Christmas music in shops yet? It
won't be long! I pity the shop assistants. We haven't had Hallowe'en
yet!

I don't pity shop assistants - they do have the choice of getting a proper

Well, I'm sure Peter has some ideas, but how about astronaut, Formula
1 car designer, or Archbishop, to name only the first proper jobs
that come to mind? Any 15-year-old with a bit of gumption should be
able to get one of those for evenings and weekends. Why, I don't want
to brag, but three of my children even managed to find jobs at call
centres!

How are they finding Bangalore at this time of year, a bit hot?

Arf! No, they've gone straight now -- if being students qualifies as
"going straight": if they'd been offered a free trip to Bangalore I'd
have elbowed them out of the way myself!
