lawnmowerman

thats crazy talk! lots of trees is a GOOD THING. especially in a capital city

ha! only if its a blue one!

and to top it all, it seems no-one wants my old lawnmower. (see items for sale) i did ask for ?15 but am happy to let it go free to anyone who wants to come & collect? back on topic, thanks to all who posted anyway.

well, it's monday now and sad to say we didn't get our scooter back. of course i have no idea if was taken inadvertently or not - i can see how someone could easily mistake theirs with another, after all they all look the same (yes it was a ?40 one) and a busy parent or unfamiliar grandparent would never know the difference. on the other hand I have received plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest, just as spangles says, that these things get pinched or "swapped" all the time, either in parks or at school. we've learned a lesson and any future purchases will be immediately customised and etched with our childrens names.

a genuine mistake i'm sure, but someone walked off with my son's almost brand new (blue) micro scooter this afternoon at around 4pm, leaving behind their old battered one which was parked next to it. I've put the old one behind the counter at the cafe in the hope that once the mistake is realised the person in question might have the honesty to go back and swap them back? Our's is unmarked with no identifying stickers. Obviously a lesson to be learnt there.
