|  Where to buy an electric lawnmower? We've been through so many gardeners now I've decided to do it myself. The gardener we have now comes at any frequency between 2 weeks and 2 months, others we've had spend 6 hours cutting the grass with a machete and filling their pockets with as many bin bags as they can steal. Went to the obvious place Home Depot, they have those cylindrical push mowers (too much like hard work and dont collect the cuttings) or huge 170cc petrol powered ones that are complete overkill for the size of our garden, and expensive. Asked the guy if he knew where we could get an electric one and he looked at us like we were visiting from some far off planet. Surely it's not too much to ask for something like this. Any ideas anyone?  |

| Nice one Mat. I'll get Jannet to ring round. Noticed that GR3000 is £75 in the UK, so should be about $1350 - but I bet it isnt. |

| 42 quid at the moment, so about 800 pesos...Buy Black and Decker GR3000 1000w Electric Rotary Lawnmower at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Limited stock Garden and DIY. They want 2,330 on this site Indar they have a "comprar" button but nothing happens when you click it. That's a healthy markup ain't it! |

5 addresses listed, 2 phone numbers. 1 of the phone numbers is a private house, the other (with the Puerto Juarez address) is actually in Chetumal. They can order the GR3000 for 4,100 pesos. They gave us an address of one of their other outlets on Lopez Portillo, but didnt know the phone number. Why are even the simplest things such a chore. | |

| They have them in Home Depot now 1650 pesos - same one as Mat posted above. So if anyone else wants one grab one quick there were only 3 left when we bought ours yesterday. |

| 20 mb Internet, people dropping by to vaccinate the kids free of charge, British cakes, and now electric lawnmowers, just need cans of Stella and decent kebab place and you'll never need to go home again! |
