ineed to cut the grass to get to the shed

I know exactly what you mean....

I'd quite happily give all that stuff a miss - certainly the full sized version - as they only seem to set off my hayfever and wreck my back.

Unfortunately, the domestic authority keeps "reminding" me that she doesn't want a backdoor nature reserve - especially when I am desperate to visit somewhere else for a few hours.

Guess whose opinion carries weight.
