It seems there's also one in Brixton on the first Saturday of every month - just in case anyone else was interested: https://www.repaircafe-lambeth.org/

A-ha! Found the Nunhead one! Last Saturday of every month, it seems (but not this month!) https://www.repaircafenunhead.com/ In the Dulwich? Is there a word missing there?

I have an radio/alarm clock with a faulty connection - I really don't want it to go to waste but no idea where to get it fixed. Anyone have any ideas?

Let me try to reassure you those of you who concerned about the tree: the person who coordinated the decorating of the tree worked in arboriculture and chose the materials involved specifically because they would not damage the tree at all. And as planned, the tree has already been returned to its usual state. Oh, and...

Hello. OP here. Hadn't been on to address any of this before now. Ever so sorry about that. Hadn't realised my silence for a whole 26 hours would be seen as so controversial. I'm only going to say this one thing as I have neither the energy nor the inclination to be drawn into an argument about this here so forgive me if I don't reply again... I posted the above flyer as I thought that some local people (especialy those without children at a local school) might not know about the picket lines but might be interested in visiting - not joining - the picket lines to show their support to those teachers on strike. (I'll not go into the reasons for the strike - it's in the smaller print on the flyer if you want to read more.) But just to be clear: in those schools that are still open (or partially open) teachers will not be intimidating the children going into school. Teachers are not - as a rule - in the business of intimidating children. These teachers are holding picket lines as a show of their strength of feeling and in an attempt to *peacefully persuade* - not intimidate - other colleagues to withdraw their labour (the law is very clear that attempts at peaceful persuasion are allowed*). It has absolutely nothing to do with attempting to stop the children going into school whatsoever. The picket lines will be good natured and friendly (and as most are in residential areas, I imagine reasonably quiet affairs). Should you pop down you will likely receive a smile and a cheerful "good morning". If you wanted to speak to the teachers about their reasons for striking, I'm sure they'd gladly chat with you. And unless you find being politely handed a leaflet intimidating, I think you'll feel perfectly safe. But don't take my word for it: pop down to one. If you want to know your closest one, they're listed on the flyer above. Solidarity with the strikers --- * If you're interested, you can find this in Section 22 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1992 and in the government's Code of Practice on Picketing 2017.

Attached is a list of schools in Southwark with NEU picket lines this Thursday (2 March). Loads in ED and its environs. Most start at 7 but some at 7.30 - so 7.30-9 is the best time to visit. Please pop down to one of your local schools and show them some love - even if just a flying visit. Thank you

Just adding our recommendation to this thread. We were told by another company that we needed a new motor. They were quoting us ?130 for this on top of the ?125 call out charge we'd already paid. We sought a second opinion from Steve and quickly established that we did not need a new motor and he fixed it (using parts the other company had told us you could not get) in less than 15 minutes for a third of the price they had quoted us. Make Steve your first call.

Thanks. That's useful to know.

Thank you. That's helpful. I'll give them a try.

Does anybody know of any swimming teachers who offers private swimming lessons? We're looking for someone to teach our son but have had no luck yet. If anyone has any ideas, it would be most appreciated. Thanks

Cycle Hoop recommend using two locks. I use two locks on mine and recently upgraded to a sturdier one after our hangar was broken into - a Abus Granit X-Plus 540 which had excellent reviews when I did some research - alongside a Kryptonite Kryptoflex.

Thanks. Yep - we tried selling it and giving it away on here but no joy.

We've a cot mattress we no longer need but have struggled to find a home for. Anyone have any ideas of what one can do with unwanted mattresses? It's a decent Little Green Sheep one and in good condition, so I'm reluctant to just chuck it away.
