I was skipping through some lawn mower blogs and I came across this article from the Telegraph from last year - Anyone in need of a lawnmower? - and it got me thinking that this might just be a good year to look for another bargain wasting away on the shelf of B&Q or another garden retailer that may have overstocked.

The credit crunch and the wet August will mean that lawn mowers were not getting a run out so therefore the breakdowns and the renewals would have been down too. It is time to start looking out for some bargains and offers.
