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. -- Regards Bob In Runnymede, 17 miles West of London |

Where you will find garden machinery dealers that sell lawnmowers all year round. |

The message
from "Road_HogŪ" contains these words: "Tumbleweed" wrote in message ... rant ...no lawnmowers at all , not a single one, it appears to be a bloody Xmas decoration shop now. Havent they heard of global warming, the grass never stops growing now? 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.

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! -- Mike. |

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! -- Mike. |
