You bring the problem -- our guys will help you fix it and explain why you do what you do. Show and tell. They carry tools and small parts but not big ones. If you know you need new brake pads, bring them with you (about ?10 for front and back) and they will help you fix them and make sure it's right. Same with other bits like wheels or, unbelievably handle bars, if kind soul has nicked or damaged them.


They will be at Camberwell Leisure Centre in Artichoke Place (see pic) SE5 8TS from 6.30-8.30pm. Their superb services are free and open to all. They like problems (they are easily bored) and not afraid of spiders, so dust off that wreck in the shed and bring it down. See them rub their hands with glee. No need to book just turn up.

Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
