    What he says! If you read the small print they can cause you all sorts of problems if you use a personal account for business. If the mood takes them. Not saying it will happen but it could. For £90 a year I don't think it's worth risking.

    I look for value for money if I have to take stuff to be fixed. (Which is not that often as with a bit of help on here and from other places I can fix most things) but I use a guy who charges £35 an hour plus VAT. Which is cheap I think as he gets me going again within a couple of hours if he has the bits. And if he does not we can normally bodge something or borrow bits from another machine to get it going and sort properly once parts are in. That's more important than the headline rate in£s to me.

    Sent pm with details of spec thanks

    The £2.80 is a set thing I'm selling a mower at the moment and put collection only no postage yet on the listing £2.80 is shown!!

    If he were to start higher then you could increase more slowly and not loose so many. I lost loads of clients due to having to ramp prices up!
  6. Richard 1234
    I agree with you but he needs to start at a realistic price so that he keeps his customers not loses them as he realises his prices are miles out! Starting too cheap is a hard place to get out of. I know because 8 years ago I did the very same thing. I was charging £12 an hour then and it was not nearly enough looking back!
  7. Richard 1234
    The people using him should be called cheapstakes! If you are only willing to pay £12 an hour to have stuff fixed you get what you deserve!

    Put the price up its not enough to sustain it👍👍

    Oh ok.... It's still bonkers though😁😁

    I've raked it all out and can't see anything like that. But loads of dead moss under the surface that's got me thinking over weed and feed from green thumb. Anyway put some compost and seed in the holes so should be ok now! Thanks all

    Another good way to spend council tax👎👎
  12. Richard 1234
    Ha ha I can see the thinking though👍👍

    Pics of wider view. I've ripped it out and compost reseed

    Does it even need to be self propelled ? You can get all sorts for not much money if you go for a push model. Less to break on it too!

    No it's only about 12M by 8M lawn! He uses an electric roller mower Bosch maybe😁😁 and cuts it a bit short if you ask me but it's not the cause of this I don't think!

    They are good but without seeing it up close can't say really. If it runs ok it's worth nearly £60 for the engine alone (unless it's really old) so you can't go too far wrong.
  19. Richard 1234
    I think it's just the light as they look brown up close just like dead grass from weed killing. I'll take a closer look in decent light tomorrow.
  20. Richard 1234
    I don't think so but if so it's tough as there banned the chemicals👎👎
  21. Richard 1234
    No dogs though could be a local cat I suppose
  22. Richard 1234
    I did think that but the rest of the lawn is ok. I wondered if it was footprints from walking in spray but that does not really make sense as its only a small area not right next to edge. I think I'll do as suggested and get all the dead out and seed it. Can't do it myself regularly as its 150 miles from home !
  23. Richard 1234
    Thanks I will look into all these bits and see where I'm at! Thanks for the replies
  24. Richard 1234
    Hi all I'm up at my father in laws and he's asking about these dead patches on his lawn. He has green thumb to spray etc. They look a bit like weed killer to me but just after other opinions! Thanks in advance

    I'm not trying to argue that the immigration problem is not real. Just musing really that if you don't build a whole length wall people who are desperate enough will find a way across mountains or not. The us has a much more difficult problem than we do. We have no land borders yet can't control our border.
