Lawnmowers

Post by patgeorge » Fri Jul 18, 2008 11:10 am

The thing I most regret not bringing with me is my electric hover mower! They don't seem to sell them in Finland. Considering they are a Swedish invention that seems odd. Are there health and safety regs. which ban them or something? Our local garden centres just look blank when I enquire. Where can I get one?

These are rotary lawnmowers, not hover mowers. I personally have not seen them here, but I never liked them anyway.

"The thing I most regret not bringing with me is my electric hover mower!"... you must be a very happy person to miss mainly your hovermower :D
