My iPad is under guarantee with John Lewis. I called them and they said they didn't have any, but that I could buy one, send them the receipt and they would refund me. I think I have to get an Apple one otherwise it could void guarantee. There isn't an Apple Store near here. I called sainsburys and they have their own version for the price as the Apple version. Bizarre.

Azalea, I really hope this is helpful : I have this very week done this trip myself for the same reason: if you do not want to drive and pay parking, you can get the train from DH direct to Bromley South, turn right and into the Mall, there is an Apple shop, nearest one north is Covent Garden, I guess you know, you can get the 176, but then you could argue that if you took the 12 to Regent Street Apple shop you could then go on to JL and claim your refund. If you wait long enough they will have one in. Good luck

Or if you don't want to make either of the journeys, why not have it delivered from PC World. A 12W genuine Apple iPad charger:

BTW. Here you can read about (and see pictures of) genuine Apple chargers exploding, tripping electrics, etc.:

My advice: If you use one charger for both iPhone and iPad, get a more powerful iPad charger. People often confuse them (i.e. the iPhone charger "condensed" inside of a plug with the slightly bigger dedicated box of an iPad charger) because they both have the same lightning plug. But using a less powerful iPhone charger to charge a more power demanding iPad, makes the small charger overload and overheat. The electronics doesn't like too much heat and ultimately "revolts".


Regards,

Paul

    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
    • You know when you are wrong but think you're right because the internet etc? Read it and twist it how you want if it makes you feel better. I use a card as well as cash. You are pro jumping the gun and pro cynical. Yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Pro cash 🙃Who isn't? Is being pro card some kind of middle class virtue signaling thing? Like jumping to conclusions seems to be. Oooh the uncouth commoner uses that dirty cash stuff. Orf with his head.
    • Using cash is a good way of budgeting for some, if they don't have the cash in their pocket they can't buy things they may not need.  Financial institutions are keen to get us to all use plastic and credit because its harder to spot when you are at your limit and debit equates to interest which is how they make money. So dear Sephiroth, before you slam people for being pro cash, maybe think about why they are and not just view the world from your limited perspective 🤔 
    • The card machine in the dry cleaner's wasn't working, so the guy asked my husband to go to the cash till and withdraw some money....
