    Hi Louis.
    God I'd be dead by now if I had a push mower with the size of some of the lawns I have had, even the one I have now takes me most of the day to mow, and that still leaves the Council frontage, which; if you don't mow it it wouldn't get done; at 84 soon it keeps me stuffed.
    Cheers Des

    Lawnmower, what the bloody hell is that? It is so dry where I live we got rid of the grass 15 years ago, now stones pavers and succulents. Give me more time for serious stuff such as testing the amber fluid.

    A guy was interested in my brothers ride on, but he was glad to see the back of her in the end. I did not like here either.

    In the days of the witch my big fat capitalist brother in law was boasting that because of all the unemployment caused by Maggie he could hire a gardener for £2 per hour , he thought this was wonderful. One day when him and his wife were at work the gardener arrived in a van and cleaned out his house but did not cut the grass.
    Justice was served.
