    Default Can anyone recommend a gardener?

    My grandparents are getting on (in their 80s) and have a big garden which is way too much for them to look after. They don't live near enough for me to be able to do the garden myself regularly so I want to get them a gardener to come every fortnight tp cut the lawns, weed and do general garden maintenance.

    Thej live in Jarrow (tyne and wear), so I hoping someone can recommend a gardener who works in the area. I'm hoping to spend about £10 an hour and reckon there's about 3 or 4 hours' work every 2 weeks. If anyone knows someone suitable it'd be much appreciated if you could give me their details.

    Cheers

    not my fu(king gardener that's for sure. He did some work and dropped an invoice through the door while I was at work. Ten fu(king pound for mowing the lawn. Let me repeat that, ten fu(king pound for mowing my lawn Now my garden is quite a nice size but ten fucking pound for mowing the lawn is taking the piss. I didn't even ask the cunt to do it, I would have done it at the weekend myself if I'd have known it was going to cost ten fucking pound.
