Good news - Harveys Brewery safe; Bad news - my lawnmower has been destroyed

[Barrel of Fun]

Not the only fire today. I thought I could smell some burning earlier...!

That end of the lane was badly in need of improvement. Let's just hope they don't replace it with another antique shop.

Would it be popular to ask how long ago they told you it was ready for collection?

Did the mower have a leaky petrol tank ?

Deepest sympathy Lord B - gone but not forgotten.

If lawn mowers go up to heaven, would they hover there?

Wednesday.

You do, however, hint at an important question. Can I claim compensation? I appreciate, of course, that this is a human tragedy and, at this sad moment, it would be WRONG to be thinking about the £399 RRP (with £90 discount currently available to on-line purchasers).

Did you buy a Mountfield because of your fondness for the football field in Lewes which is next to the Mount?

No.

It just looked so appealing when it first looked into my eyes.

I will really miss the companionship and the loyalty it has shown over many years.

If you claim on the insurance be sure to mention that the Fire Brigade had to save the Brewery next door and your lawnmower was sacrificed as a consequence.

Try one of these !!

I hope this won't be too painful a memory...but here is an earlier attempt to assassinate the mower.

Lord B, get one of these in as a replacement...

1. They're cheap
2. The bi-products are excellent
3. They're tasty
4. They're just as loyal
5. They're a kindred spirit for Nipper
6. They don't explode with the same readiness as a lawnmower - even in Lewes
7. You can hide in and disguise yourself amongst them next time Roz gets the arse

 

[Lady Bracknell]

And they're stoopid.
Which, come to think of it.....

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Tried it. They are very unreliable.

The Argus missed a trick with their headline: Huge blaze at Lewes lawn mower shop

Should of course have been Mowering Inferno

I went to school with Kev, nice guy. Hope he get's it back up & running.
