Do you have a large garden?  Petrol garden equipment is very annoying in an urban area, I expect usually this is gardening companies but nobody in my area has a large enough garden to need one.  Cordless will take over soon.

There's a place in Beckenham that services mowers.

My grassed area is about 250 square meters. It usually takes about fifty minutes to cut with the petrol mower.

I have checked on cordless mowers but most have a usable time of about twenty minutes before requiring charging of about ninety minutes. For a more powerful machine with two batteries, becomes very expensive £350.00 or more. The batteries are the most expensive part costing in the region of £70.00 each

And the batteries are neither reliable or have a long usage periods before requiring re-charging which I am regretfully finding out.

 

+ve, very light and maneuverable machine, great result regarding cutting

-ve, poor battery life both in terms of the battery itself and usage period before requiring re-charging, poor height selector mechanism, quite flimsy, grass collection box too small for machine's capability

so it has it good and bad points

Hi Nivag,

Thanks for the info, but as I do not have any transport, I would need the mower collected and delivered, think this would be very expensive.

If you are close to D. Village and I'm passing , I will come round with my toolbox and give it a quick check out. It won't cost you anything.

Delighted to say that Vladi, called at home last Saturday afternoon, 29/07/23.

He brought his tool kit and in about 30 minutes, Lawn Mower working like a dream.

I proceeded to cut the grass, about  200 square meters, took me about fifty minutes, worked perfectly.

Very many thanks Vladi, much appreciated.

Great help from Vladi, who fixed the Mower three weeks ago.

Used Lawn Mower last Thursday not having been used for three weeks, two pulls on the starter cord and fired into action. Grass cut , thanks again Vladi.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
