Spear& Jackson rotary lawnmower,
Was £99.99 now reduced to £29.99 with free delivery.
I think this is a very good buy if you need a new mower.
Woolworths is where you will find it.

So glad the motor is "powerful 230V". Would hate to have to charge it up overnight or keep changing batteries.
Joking aside, if I was going to buy a new mower, it would have to be petrol.
Good price though...The thanks button is here to the right. If you find a post saves you money, gives you useful information, or you agree with it, take a second to thank the poster!

Very environmentally friendly using a petrol engined mower. They should be banned as there is no justification for them for domestic use. Electric, battery or good old manual are more than adequate except for the lazy and bone idle.0 -

What a foolish comment, The First Law Of Thermodynamics states energy can neither be created nor destroyed. With the exception of cutting the lawn by hand with a cyclinder mower, if you use petrol or electric then from start to finish the same amount of energy from fossil fuel will have been used to reach a trimmed lawn. Even if cut by hand the energy used by the human will have to be replaced with a nice cup of tea/slice of cake with the associated enviromental impact caused by shipping tea from India to Tesco and baking said cake.
That energy may have been created in the mowers petrol engine or as coal/oil/gas at the electricity plant, it matters not, heat and pollution will have been created one way or the other.
Please then do not consider flagging the garden since the production of concrete will surely have the undead turing in their graves at the thought of all those chemical pollutants not to mention the burning of fossil fuels in its production and also all the dicky birds which will surely die when they are unable to pull worms from the lawn.
I'm sorry to have to inform you that along with God, Santa, The Easter Bunny, Bigfoot, Kraken and Jade Goody's talent, man made global warming is a myth.
Right I'm off to cut the lawn, my bloomin big lawn, Mountfield Petrol Self Propelled, smashing.
Nice price on the post if you have a small patch to cut however.0 -

Oh dear.
There is no "justification" for most things. Should we ban everything you disapprove of?
I have a small petrol mower and it's great. Does the lawn in half the time of an electric and a can of fuel lasts all season. Perhaps I'm lazy, perhaps I'm just saving time.
Can I help?0 -
Yes, people often fail to realise that battery/electric powered cars, mowers and most (not all) other things are not "non polluters", they are simply "elsewhere polluters". It's manufacturers of such items that should be banned from using their misleading marketing language. Clearly many of us are being brainwashed!0
