MASSIVE Readers Digest Repair Manual 1972


This was my Grandads, he was an engineer and back in the day people repaired things instead of chucking it away, I followed suit. If you know someone that likes to tinker then this is THE book. Even great as a coffee table book. You'll be amazed at what's in it. There are things that don't even exist anymore.

StarChef Deluxe Slowcooker steamer thingy???? It only has the cooking bowl and of course the power supply. It has been thoroughly cleaned. Knowing my Dad he loves his Gadgets but they usually hardly get used.


See link for an idea what it does

BIG COLLECTION OF GAMES, all bar the checkers have not been used, may be one set of the dominoes too. Speaking of the latter they are a very good heavy quality, two sets (one set still packaged)


This is the ultimate Xmas day table games set includes Dice games, pack of Guinness playing cards, magnetic backgammon, Draughts(checkers), you can see the top set of dominoes goes up to 9 (big set for all the family to play)


The whole lot ?10

Some kind of floppy handbag (I'm such a bloke, don't know what it is ) size when flat approx 16"x12"

outer has a slight brown furry leopard effect whilst the inside is more obvious with a zipped pocket and it has clasps and stuff. Handle is a metal chain in bronze colour ???????????????


This has never been used. I know there are some more bags as well. My Mum like any women liked to buy shoes and bags but she never used them, especially now that she is in advanced stages of MS and has no need for handbags as she is either bedridden or in a special adapted wheelchair occasionally.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
