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.

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!

No !
I don't pity shop assistants - they do have the choice of getting a proper

England must be slipping.

In Scotland, all the shops have got Halloween AND Christmas
decorations. I'm a bit peeved that they aren't stocking Valentine's Day
and Easter stuff yet.. How about a Christmas tree decorated with little
red flashing demons and hot cross buns?

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.
