Time for a new mower?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Anyway.....I also need a new mower.

Must be petrol.
Not a 'girlie' electric or battery job.
51CM or 20 inch cut.
NOT QUALCAST CRAP
Not fitted with a made from wet cardboard B&S motor, regardless of what Tigger and TB think.
£200-£450.

I'll have a  look in B and Q this afternoon.

Lidl have Parkside petrol mowers at the moment. £129.99.  What could possibly go wrong? 

I doubt it has a 20 inch cut....but worth a look.

My grass cutter is 5 foot 2 inch tall , cute and blonde, and makes a grand cup of tea.

You don't say if this individual a man or a woman?

Or both?

[Mr Skrunts]

She is my grass cutter , single and a good  kisser tea maker.

5 minutes ago the term 'she' was self-explanatory. These days there are plenty of 'she types' rocking the old meat and two veg.

Have you checked, Skruntie?..

A Gentleman never tells it all.

Do you know any gentlemen? Apart from, maybe, your grass cutter

Skruntie must be a wealthy man if he can afford a 'grass cutter'

I thought it was supposed to be grim up north.

Life is simple, not grim. London is grim.

With ethnic cleansing and bus fires are almost a weekly occurrence your not so far behind Lundun.

Oh wait, that's Bradford. An easy mistake to make.

Wrong county, and a single bus fire. Easy.

Again, apologies,... I had forgotten that West and South Yorkshire were different count(R)ies

[YZ250]

............
Would a Honda lump prove more reliable and last longer?

Anyway.....I also need a new mower.
.........
£200-£450.
.......

You'll need to throw another couple of hundred more than your maximum to get a Honda Izy 18" cut, or another grand more than your maximum for the Honda HRX series 20" cut, or another twelve hundred for a Toro (Kawasaki engine). Some of the bigger cut Toro's are over two and a half grand. 
Now can you see why B & S are so popular. 

I've mentioned on here before that I had a Honda Izy sat under my bench for around four years. The petrol had long since evaporated so I put some fresh petrol in it. It started first pull.    I believe TB had one but mistreated it by subjecting it to volcanic temperatures and melting it.      The decks eventually rot out on the earlier Izy though.

My Qualcast finally wet tits up today. Clouds of white smoke before finally deciding to seize solid. It lasted 6 years  but never seemed to have the torque to cut grass more than an  inch or two long. Good riddance to the pile of shit.

Anyway, for now, I've decided to take a risk on just about the cheapest 53CM/ 21inch SP mower available. It comes with a 2 year warranty. If it lasts that long I'll be happy. Not sure about the engine other than being a 173cc 4 stroke lump ......probably from the land of the slitty eye.

Perhaps I'll be pleasantly surprised.
