Costly Cut

[maggiebee]

Just finishing cutting the grass when my mower started to make rather strange noises then blue smoke started belching out. Disconnected it and let it cool down but it's dead as a dodo. Guess who's visiting the skip tomorrow and possibly B&Q?

[tonyav]

Yep, bad luck that, maggie. How old is the deceased mower ?.

[Chipchopper]

Sounds like the unkindest cut of all.............well almost ;-)

[maggiebee]

C'est la vie Tony. Reckon it's about 12 years old so probably owes me nothing. A very unkind cut as you say Chippy.

[Tuvok]

At least it waited until you finished!

[tonyav]

Ah well, twelve years old as you say probably owes you nothing.

Don't get a petrol one, maggie. Mr T makes strange noises every time he uses ours

'@£$!*&^**(((('

[tonyav]

Is that when he's pulling the starter string, Yilly ?.

[Tilly2]

Yes indeed, Yont.

Actually, we have a new one and he loves it. The old one is sitting in the garage looking very unloved. It was a terror.

[Tilly2]

B&Q is good on Wednesdays. Diamond Day.

[tonyav]

He could take the engine out of the old mower and make a go-cart.

[Tilly2]

No, Yont. He couldn't. Believe me. :-(

[tonyav]

Ok, I'll do it for him.

[Tilly2]

That would be lovely. Thank you, Yont.

[tonyav]

Just think what fun you could have with an home built go-cart.

[Tilly2]

Yes, Yont. It will be absolutely spiffin' sitting A&E. Jolly fun.

[tonyav]

LOL, let gness have the first go !.
