    Seems OK to me.

    I was so wound-up by the cable/lawnmower problems that I was
    encountering in the tiny front garden here, that I acquired a petrol
    mower. Fewer fusses all round for me, but I can see a healthy market
    for this surprisingly sensible product.

    Might hang a little low. And the safety breakaway thing wouldn't
    stand up to your on-stage antics.

    I'm itching for an excuse to buy or build a petrol lawnmower[0]

    I've built a self-powered[1] topper mower but it's a bit of a handful
    to lug around the garden. It's also prone to chewing up the grass with
    its wheels and, as the wheels are very widely spaced and the lawn not
    flat, of scalping high points, too.

    [0] when or if I ever get the time
    [1] but not self-propelled

    I got around this problem by simply mowing back and forward in
    stripes, so the cable is always to the side I've already cut. Plus
    it's the optimal way to cover the space on my back lawn.

    So far I've not died. But good luck, it probably is a better idea
    wiv-a-novver..

    Rubbish. As a Colonel I knew used to say, paragraphs and skirts should
    be short, and pheasants and breasts high.
