Laughed at my JCB

Fred always used second hand lawn mowers, usually from car boot sales. In 2002, his latest one was getting a bit dodgy and I was pig sick of there being cables out of the window and through the letter box every week so,much to his disgust, I bought him a JCB motor mower.

It cost something approaching £200 at the time but I told him it was bought with the commission from the club book, because I would tell him anything.

That mower has given us sterling service over the intervening years and, yesterday. Fred's mate and M took it off to the mower mechanic who nearly had a seizure laughing at it. He was amazed that the motor and body were still together.

Anyway, I need to buy a new mower,that one owes us nothing, and was looking to get another JCB but it looks like they are now called McCulloch.

Does anybody know anything about mowers please?

I suppose it depends how much grass you have to cut Sharron

It does three gardens.They are inter-war council houses, about 120ft by 15ft but not all grass.

Does anybody know if McCulloch used to be JCB?

I don't know about McCulloch, but if you google JCB Mowers there are lots still available.
