Reclaimed timber/social project - brilliant place near Chislehurst

Hello, I know this isn't an ED business, but I was looking for a place that sold reclaimed wood and discovered this fantastic place run by the Shaw Trust, which supports disabled or disadvantaged people back to work, or with training, and thought it could do with a bit of a plug, and I don't think there's anything like it in our neck of the woods. The people were so friendly, and we saw the workshop where they make thing snd develop new skills, it was like being in the countryside (it practically is) and there's a small ruin to look at too! (The moated remains of Elizabeth I's spymaster's house - Francis Walsingham). The timber was cheaper than it would be from somewhere like B&Q - we got old scaff planks - and i thought people might be interested in knowing about this for garden projects etc etc. It's the Bromley Wood Recycling Project and they could do with more customers!!! Phone/e-mail them before you go to check their stock.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
