No big deal to most but a year ago I would be in A&E by now having just walked passed someone mowing the lawn.
Sever asthma caused by allergies plagued me for years, walking off golf courses was a favorite, had to stop brewing due to live yeast, had to change occupation due to dust etc (among other things), was using a Ventolin every 14 days and diagnosed with COPD, living on Prednisolone and antibiotics to fend of "chest infections".
However after a week in hospital for testing in 2015 it was discovered that it wasn`t COPD, I was just allergic to all sorts and last July I started receiving Xolair treatment, fortnightly injections that completely prevent allergies.
I kid you not it`s like flicking a switch, use a Ventolin maybe 4 times a week now, am now not allergic to anything, have fostered a cat, AND mowed the lawn, lung capacity has also increased 62%!
Just thought I`d share as well chuffed and looking forward to Summer, might even have the first beer of the year later

Take care!
Good to hear @Tone71

Initially I thought "Oh - it's just about someone with asthma." Then I realised it's about someone going into battle with an injury and overcoming the odds. I can see a screenplay here.

Any recommendations for a petrol, rotary, self propelled effort, that isn't a Qualcast?
TBH - you can get a brand new complete carb replacement off AliEx for less than a tenner Is much easier to swap it out than muck about trying to clean in out.

Definitely time for a new one, especially as the going rate for a service/repair seems to be over £100....
It looks exhausting.

Its probably 20 year plus in terms of age. We bought it used for peanuts two years ago and it's been abused keeping on top of our garden regularly. But it still goes - I know I would have killed a modern one by now...
I used it for the first cut of 2017 yesterday and it was faultless as usual.
So unless somethings changed like they are thrown together with generic parts these days, I'd throw Mountfield into the ring as a contender.
Back to the OP - congrats, as a year round allergy sufferer to various known and unknown triggers, I can imagine what a relief it must be for someone with such a severe problem.
