Bought a mower Tuesday, 'cause decided that as grass up to waist, got to do something about it. Have a mower somewhere, think in next door's shed, but they away; did have gardner, but think he has sacked me due to misunderstanding
(if anyone here requires a gardening job, please pm me).
Back to the point, bought one at Homebase. Oh yes, have to put the bloody thing together !! Having a logical mind, did understand, but the grass box ... Oh, deary me, engaging plastic with a '>> ' (read the De Vinci Code to understand this) fastener proved extremely difficult.
Spent a frustrating hour trying to get these together, finished up talking to the ducks which flew next to me in sympathy nodding their heads in tuts. Had had a little wine so by 10 o'clock gave up this enterprise.
Took into work yesterday and not even the strong hand males could do this, and believe me they tried, macho thing.
Ok, nowt for it, but to bravely stride into Homebase customer services to see what they could do. Sent for Mr. Mahmood .. handsome young man who struggled, but eventually managed with a screwdriver. However, realised the molding was not good and exchanged without a word of adversity and a smile.
Not all the same are they Busman ?
