Simple is always good ?

The plug was in, I double checked that. It overheating is a possibility, I'll find out when I try again tomorrow. Definitely something to bear in mind ?.

Your last point would be very irritating but also very possible ?

Plug the mower straight into the socket (if possible to safely do this) and see if the motor spins.
If it does spin the extension is fooked, as already suggested.
If it doesn’t spin the mower is at fault.

Looking increasingly like the Sunday League team is going to fold, just waiting for the final nail in the coffin. Massive shame. I probably only had a couple of years of playing left in me anyway, but if we're cutting it short I think I'm too old to start from scratch and try and find a new team so that'll be that. More time for golf though I guess. Even if I gave up the footy in a year or two I had hoped there would be some sort of legacy of them carrying on.

You're lucky. The entire league round here folded years ago. No blokes in a fit state to play footie after getting in a four or later in a morning. Good idea this reflexing of boozing laws. My grandson a football nut has no team at the age when he should be starting to collect the memories to tell his grandson.....like I do. And he still hasn't matched my six goals in one game.?

Fragranced air fresheners.
Our cat owning next door neighbours have such strong smelling plug-in air fresheners that, when they open their patio doors, the smell is overpowering sitting in our back garden.

I mean. If they need em that strong. It's probably better that you smell them than the alternative......

Playing golf with a lovely soft spoken old man who's using an be old cobra 440 speed king driver with a slight draw and a slow swing, that was only a few yards back from my full on blasts.
Bluddy golfers that can draw the ball off the t get on my wick, especially when they don't know how they do it.
I’m one of those. Yet when I stand on our 12th tee which is a dogleg right I always seem to fade it around the corner but using my normal set-up. Golf is weird.

Cut the back grass this afternoon, all good. I go to the front and it starts cutting out. I lift the blades, same. I change the plug socket I'm using, same. I clean the grass underneath in case the blades can not spin, same.

It's an electric Bosch Rotak 34R incidentally.

I can't be hassled looking at it today but I'll be hitting YouTube tomorrow for various fixes, simple, not electrical. My neighbours might be thinking my 10% cut is me joining No Mow May ?
Could be the brushes in the motor.

They should know the stuff in them can be pretty bad for animals....

Will also add long hair - my daughters hair is getting so long and it’s a nightmare to sort out - especially for someone who has had short hair all his adult life ?
