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.

      BAD ADVICE FROM HOLLAND & BARRETT

      I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders

      What helps you keep on top of your home?

      Personally can’t stand carpets however where I am renting has carpet in  bedroom and hall. Not great quality and certainly not cleaned. Was  in B & M recently and looking at carpet shampoo -wow got a can costing £2.99 to test.. No scrubbing as others seemed to imply. Spray, leave and poof - smells great, no dabbing or scrubbing and c leaving rubbish. First to admit is only temp solution but no need to hire carpet cleaner instantly  or pay for a company to come and deal with professionally. For 3/6 months happy to have used this - Have a carpet cleaner and in a month or so plan to use it.    Buy a steam cleaner for floors - not expensive - much better than mop and bucket and more hygienic all round. Can pick up second hand ones on e bay.

      Is this a true story? What protein powder causes kidney damage? Why didn't you cite an article? I shop at H&B, mostly to buy their castor oil, however, I would recommend researching any product beforehand. They do have very informative articles on their website. To be honest, I don't see the point of this post. You could have just taken the product back for a refund or complained in store and in writing.

      Love Dulwich rebranding as Turkish Restaurant

      By beansprout · Posted

      Well the Italian on Lordship Lane  recommended here was delicious.  Thank you so very much -my party were extremely pleased with ambience, location and lovely food plus puddings to die for. They are also on Deliveroo.  Will certainly be back when I am back in 6 weeks time. Went past Love Dulwich at lunchtime on my way to Italian - only a party of 2 - food might be excellent but decided to give it a miss - wasn’t impressed with manager who admitted he had only been there 2 weeks. Might be being totally unfair but doubt it, as no comments since about a month ago from Pugwash.
