Meece 1,957 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Blimey that place is ramo with customers. It's far too much to cope with. I'll wait till it is a bit quieter. Failing that I'll connect a car alternator to the lawn mower. All its doing is moving the exhaust pipe somewhere else. Edited December 10, 2020 by Meece 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
