    Welcome to the forum Lawnman, great to hear from you.

    Hey S.P did you post in this thread. I am getting the distinct impression some posts have gone from this thread, my post from last night being one of them??

    And mickhippy's post about the using a broom etc. and it taking longer to sweep the path then mow the lawn, so he bought a blower. If I cam correct we lost several posts out this thread?

    The problem has occurred, and i feel that it is unique to this thread. Unfortunately there was an error yesterday and one of the files did not close properly in the program, when they reset it, some data in this thread was lost. I have spoken to the techs relating to this forum and to the hosts, this is a very rare occurrence apparently.

    Our first hiccup and now measures have now been put in place to ensure this will not effect us again.

    We appologise for any inconvenience caused.

    Thank-you

    I was just perusing the forum, sussing things out hehe

    In regard to the missing posts, Please note that it did not effect your post count. For example my post count is 83 yet there are only 80 posts made by me in the search. (wow i didn't realise I talked that much )

    Grillonz, would you possibly be able to post a picture of your mower again.

    Well might as well put my bit in, worked in the horse racing industry for 6 years and then got sick of the early mornings so I started mowing lawns part time on weekends and then full time with in 6 months. And that was back in 1983 !
