Should of got a gardener instead @ £25 every two weeks and they use their own tools.
By the way Al text me your new mobile number.

Not to worry ... if you had some spare I would love to put them on the car, but don't worry about getting any more done ... I'm already into over £100 in decals

Was that including a tappet check and a Waxoil?

Is it one of those ride on ones?

[unrepentant]

I paid £125 the last time my Lawn Tractor was serviced so sounds reasonable.

[burriana]

But I don't even get to sit on it and ride it!

I think the least I should do now is stick a "speed matters" sticker on it

Don't suppose anyone knows where there is an old iron lawn roller rusting away doing nothing anywhere do they?

Relics are fine Rich (I've been out with a couple ). As long as it is bloody heavy and still rolls that would be fantastic!
