    Or can I put the mower away now until next Spring?

    Have you got a petrol mower?

    I have. I'm a proper bloke me.

    You could get a ride-on. They're also handy for nipping down the shops but you have to watch out for Yorkshire terriers and the like.

    A bit to go yet I'm afraid mate.

    Grass stops growing when the temperature falls below 7 degs Centigrade (about 44 F)</p>

    Considering it's 20C/68F today, I'd keep thi mower handy for a while longer yet.[​IMG]</p>

    My mower died at the weekend

    No it's OK, I'm over it. I don't like talking about a replacement so soon after ... well, you know ... after the event, but we're moving house in a few weeks to an already empty property with a very overgrown garden. It's not big enough for a ride on unfortunately, unless they have very small turning circles, so looks like being a petrol one. Can you recommend one? How many miles are you getting to the gallon? What's your top speed? Any insurance problems? I won't get a 4x4 on principle so if that's what you've got then you can shove it, I'm not interested. Sorry but I feel strongly about that particular issue.

    Fantastic

    I have a thermometer outside the back door and I just put a red line on the 7C mark with a legend to the side on a piece of laminated A4 paper that has a red line on it and by the red line I wrote "Mowing stops here!". It's hilarious. Where's Adam Hinchcliffe?

    I'm so sorry to hear that. Life goes on mate.

    I'm currently running a Wolf 47cm 5HP HON, Self Propelled, 2 Speed. It's not bad on the gas, about six green wheely bins to the gallon, and it has a decent service interval.

    It's a bit of a head turner. I went for the red. It only comes in red.

    Nice one

    I looked it up on Google, very stylish. And I bet you don't feel stupid pushing that to the Texaco garage to fill it up either.
