my friend's dad bought one of those ride-on lawnmowers before anyone else had ever seen one and it was his pride and joy (in his defence he is stupidly mega-rich and his garden is more like a county)
it promptly got nicked. he bought another. it promptly got nicked. he built electronic gates to protect the third one. it tickled me to think of someone veeeeery sloooooooooowly getting away on the first two.

I bought a petrol mower
Self-propelled, electric start and everything. A ride-on would be overkill for my lawn

My dad's got one of them.
It's a lot easier if you add some wire or elastic to hold the dead mans handle in.

Good point
Best not to have it running when removing the grass box though - tends to chuck grass everywhere. DAMHIKT

Fucking lawnmower sprayed grass all over landscaping bark I'd just put down at the weekend.
I was so angry I killed a neighbours cat with a house brick.
