clock repair

Is there anyone out there who can repair an old BHS wall clock which I'm very fond of. The metal tab that holds the battery in place has broken so I need to replace it but don't have the tools. It may be too old & the parts too fragile by now but I don't want to throw it away unless I'm sure it can't be mended.

I am sure it can be mended. The entire clock mechanism will be in a 2 inch x 2 inch black plastic box which also holds the battery. The easiest way is to buy a replacement mechanism which any handy person could fit. I've done it myself. eBay has them for around ?5, but you need to know the correct type.


I don't know anyone who trades as a 'battery clock fixer' but maybe some electronic / computer / phone repair people might help you. The covered market in Peckham could be a place to start.


Please don't throw it away - someone can do it.

    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
