Meanwhile, back at other ODD subjects. As mentioned ages ago to @POPS my little mains electric mower finally gave up from overwork. Thought about a battery, cordless jobbie but way too expensive for a decent one with a short cut (which I need) and ability to chop some serious long grass (Old neighbour’s so-called “lawn”). POPS told me about his petrol one and, well, a good small ICE mower is cheaper and more capable than battery. Now owner of smallest Honda push-propelled 145cc petrol chap. Very happy thus far. Has halved cutting time: no lead to fiddle with, wider and more consistent cut. Bit heavy but, there again, so is my ancient cast-iron Qualcast Panther which I’ll still use in high summer when I want a Wimbledon finish.
