We had a flymo from the 80s that finally broke a couple of years ago - it was robust - had to be for wifey's use. Noisy in its final years, probaly because it was out of balance from mowing stones.

Ah! Mowing of stones, that's so familiar! I've seen our garden elf but we must have one as every time I mow I find yet another stone and loose yet more of my blade. I bet its not a garden elf, it must be the same elf who moves my tools and puts all the missing nuts, bolts and washers directly underneath the middle of the car!
