I've got a few awkward things to fix, so visited Penge Men in Sheds website, to hear of the Beckenham Repair cafe. The concept of the latter is to repair and reuse rather than throw away.  I went today, It was buzzing and I was most impressed.  I'm not sure if there are nearer facilities.  I'll post on the Whats on part of the forum the next time the Repair Cafe is open.  Have others any experience in these community projects?  Are there closer ones than Penge and Beckenham?

Thanks all.  A colleague from many moons ago has joined one, and they have pretty sophisticated equipment.  I don't think they operate like a repair cafe where they do multiple small jobs.  MIS appear to do bigger community projects as well as help reduce isolation (sorry if that sounds a bit patronising, but others can maybe explain better)

      I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.

      Maybe the signor in question spotted some hot jacuzzi action and just had to stop in?
