Slightly old style (no back bar, and the cupboard has no inner shelf). In good condition. This is heavy, but could be disassembled.
It is in an upstairs room and whoever collects it will have to get it downstairs themselves. If you are interested, please could you suggest a collection time and provide a phone number?

One door with loose hinge. Could be easily repaired. Top is 80com wide and 45 cm deep. Heavy, but the top can be removed to make transport a little easier.

Filing cabinet with a few dividers. Battered but hale. The drawers can be removed, but it is heavy.
It is in an upper room, so whoever takes it will need to be able to carry it down stairs – and they will need transport.
If interested, please could you include a suggested collection time and mobile number when you reply? -

Two seater sofa (approx 150cm side to side, 90cm deep) covered in navy cotton. The springs and cushions are OK but the arms are somewhat discoloured. Probably not resellable in a charity shop but would be a decent sofa with a "throw" over it. Pet and smoke free house. Little cushions included. On the ground floor. In Nunhead.

The trees in the cemetery are kept maintained (trimmed) by the Council to preserve the view of St Pauls, they were there 2 - 3 months ago. Same Southwark Council team also trimmed the trees in One Tree Hill.

We're giving away an Ikea sofa bed, similar to this one https://www.ikea.com/.../nyhamn-3-seat-sofa-bed-with.../... but covered in dark pink cord material. A little faded, and a couple of (ink) marks but otherwise clean and from non-smoking, no animal house. When open, it is 200cm long and about 138 wide (i.e. double). You'd need two people and a probably a vehicle to collect. Because other plans didn't work out, we need it to go as soon as possible as repairs are about to start. We're at home Monday (18/2) morning or afternoon, Tuesday afternoon and evening and Wednesday all day. If you'd like it, please let me know when you can collect? Thanks.

Thanks for the ideas - all being well, they are going this weekend to a book sale in April in aid of Feed the Hill (Telegraph Hill) - the left overs from this sale apparently go to Michael Peacock,

Before having some building work done, we are slimming down our book collection and will probably have about 25-30 small-medium boxes of books to give away. I'd like to give them to a charity if possible. Any ideas?
Places that I've tried so far:
Herne Hill Oxfam - only want a couple of boxes at a time;
British Heart Foundation in theory will collect books along with a piece of furniture (which we do have to give away) but having tried to book a collection on line, I've not heard from them and there is conflicting information info on their voice mails about whether they want books;
iCollectclothes.com - they have said that they may collect, I'm waiting to hear back from them. They aren't a charity but they do seem to give quite a bit to charity.
Any other ideas?
Thank you. -

I worked for Humana, a Tvind related fund raiser, a long time ago. They were indeed strange and I only found out about the cult info later. I also read they had lost their charity status in the UK but maybe they have a new identity.

There'll be some fund raising craft stalls that take cash, so bring some with you if you can.
-
Summer fair on Saturday 20th August - lots for all the family - bouncy castle, BBQ, Pimms, jollof rice, crafts to buy and make, face painting, nail bar, local history. Don't worry about bringing cash - you can pay for most things with tokens that you can buy with a card. But free giant games too - Tumble Tower, dominos, cards, croquet.

No. Slowing and calming the traffic flow between Camberwell and Peckham High Street, and between there and Queens Road Peckham will not reduce flow to 5mph. It will reduce the temptation for drivers to alternately press the accelerator and brake, reduce the quantity of polluting dust from brake pads and make no difference to the ultimate journey time for driver - but might reduce journey times for pedestrians, who will be able to cross the road with reduced waiting times.

Just wanted to remind people about this consultation: the TfL consultation is very basic so I've added this in too:
I am generally in favour of these proposals. However, I think there are many further improvements that could be made:
It is great that the pedestrian and toucan crossings will be much wider. However, part of the current problem is that vehicles stop on the crossing. Could there be a yellow box painted on these crossings? Or some other sort of on-going enforcement to prevent vehicles stopping there?
There are several junctions with minor side roads such as Sumner Road, Basing Court, Collyer Place, Bull Yard and Mission Place and the vehicular entrance by the Kentish Drovers PH to Peckham Dental Care. Please could these junctions be raised to footway height, both to make movement easier for pedestrians, and to make clear to drivers that pedestrians have priority.
I think that the length of the 20mph limit should be increased both to the east and west. To the east of Peckham High Street, Queens road widens into 4 lanes, only some of which is a bus lane, with no parking allowed, allowing vehicles to drive at speed (Uber
Movement shows free-flow speeds in excess of 40mph in this location). It
is similar to the west of Peckham High street. This means that on both
sides of the High Street traffic goes at a very fast speed, before
becoming frustrated by the delays in the High Street, and indeed further
on in Camberwell and by Queens Road Station. It would be much better if
this whole stretch of the A202 was narrowed and calmed, allowing for
wider pavements and protected cycles lanes (potentially even some
greening in the space created). Traffic could be slowed down to 20mph or
slower without overall journey times being increased, as movement would
be smoother between the pinchpoints of Camberwell, Peckham High street
and Queens Road. It is important to note that residents in the 300+ new
homes at Peckham Place will need to cross Queens Road at its widest and
fastest point to access public transport.
I also feel strongly that this scheme does little for cyclists. Would it not be possible to retain and enhance the cycle lanes?

Messy Church is a fun way of being church for families. There will be story telling, music, craft and refreshments.
There will be a harvest theme. Come and try it, everyone is welcome.

I'm trying to help someone get an entry-level job. They're interested in cafe/restaurant/kitchen work. I've noticed that there are on-line courses available, costing between ?10 - ?25, and that apparently take only a few hours to do. As an employer - would you be more likely to employ someone that already had a FHC Level 2? and would you consider one obtained on-line suitable? Thanks

thanks for the suggestions, I'll try Carphone Warehouse to start with, the Argos article was also useful.

I need to replace my mobile and could just go to PC World but suspect that the staff won't want to listen to what I'm looking for. (few pre-loaded apps, long battery life, not likely to use for games etc.) any recommendations for a shop with helpful staff? or even a mobile with the attributes above?

I had two lots of frogs spawn in my little pond quite early - maybe 2 weeks ago. One lot seemed not to have been fertilized properly, I couldn't see any tiny black dots in it and it has now disappeared. In the other lot, the dots have become lines and I hope will soon start wriggling.
