Off to mow a rather large lawn
Girlfriend's brother-in-law is a gardner.
He's gone away for a week so he's asked me to mow a customer's lawn....
The house owner and family, 2 dogs, au'pair, cleaner and cook and selection of other workmen are still there.
My brother-in-law is just the gardner!
 
lawn to mow
Rather large isn't it! 
Cheers,
James
Edited as people have kindly warned me I shouldn't give an address away. I should point out the gardner is the one on holiday.... not his
customer who owns the house!

Now we know he's away for the week and know where he lives, we can all come round with a big van and help ourselves to his stuff. Nice one

I think you will find that it's the gardener that is away for the week, not the home owner that employs him. 
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Doesn't look more than an acre, couple of hours on a riding tractor with a 50" cut, that's all it takes me.

Wow! That was fun- not! 
Took 3.5 hours including 10mins for lunch. Ride-on mower... I wish!
Fortunately the grass was pretty short so didn't have to empty the box too often.
Apart from hitting something solid, metal and heavy and somewhat knackering the brand new blade, all went well!
Teach him to ask me for a favour eh!!!
Cheers,
James
