Charity shops have really good board books, especially St Christopher's

This has given me ideas for the ginger wine I love, that no one else likes!

Yes, fear and disgust were odd

I'd love it if ED was a little bit more Denmark Hill!

Jane Goodall-very sad to hear this

yes I'm aware

Due to a bathroom renovation, I need to vacate for a couple of weeks dates tbc with my plumber. Anyone?

Any recommendations, I remember a day time one being advertised ages ago-in someone's garden too!

Popped in today and the staff were telling people everything was 50% off! Even books.. It includes Sunday so I'm definitely going back tomorrow

Smaller charities are your best bet, the big ones can be quite notoriously difficult to please.

I'm becoming a semi regular because of all this! Ambiance is lovely, can't fault the food, they allow us to have a dish each and a drink, or dessert and drink, no pressure to have loads...

Thanks for posting, it reminded me of all the interesting survey work I used to do with these people

Has anyone any recommendations/experience of sending their excess books to a company where you enter the details and they buy them, albeit for probably very little? They also provide boxes etc?

I've said it before, but I found a whole new tribe with Meetup.com Easy to sign up and look for groups/events Eventbrite also lists interesting stuff sometimes. Parkrun?

GP not willing to refer you on? Say, to King's or similar. Odd

Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)

Anyone been without a car, train preferably? Recommendations?

One opposite Dulwich Library (Woodwarde Road) was good for me years ago

No, they don't.
