Very long shot here but i can't help my partner tonight to collect a washing machine near the end of peckham rye park on forrest hill road whuch was offered to us and we realy need it. I am pregnant so it's too heavy for me to carry.

Would someone be able to help us just to put it in the car when we pick it up there. We would find help from neighbours when we arrive at home but know nobody near the area of pick up.

- Is that literally from the pavement into a car or from within the house itself ?

- will it go into the car on its side ? If so has the water in the pump been drained ?

- if the boot of the car has a lip what is the height ?

- roughly what time this evening ?

Hi, thanks for your message.


- Is that literally from the pavement into a car or from within the house itself ?


For the pick-up:

the washing machine is in the garden so ground floor level, there is a side return and a ramp down the street.

We have an ok trolley to help roll it but the main job would be to put it into the van so my boyfriend doesn't hurt his back.


- will it go into the car on its side? If so has the water in the pump been drained ?

I think the water pump's been drained, but unsure...


- if the boot of the car has a lip what is the height ?

At the back, I don't know it's a Zipcar Volkswagen transporter.


- Roughly what time this evening ?

Between 6:00 and 6:30.



Best,

Neila.

      Milk delivery

      By Sue · Posted

      Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.

      Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days.

      I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
