Thanks everyone. Delivery no longer required.

Thanks -- its a coffee table. Small/light wooden base and round glass top.

Congratulations. Job well done. It'll take some getting used to, but what a great resource! As I understand it, this is entirely voluntary...but even if it isn't, its still to be applauded. I agree, people should be constructive in their criticism or suggestions, recognising that humans are behind this, and its a community resource. This is a unique asset, and I don't know of any other neighbourhood with a system quite as well organised and useful as this. There is Next Door, but that's commercial, and not nearly as useful. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Any idea how I might get something (can fit in a car) delivered from Bellenden Road to London Fields? And how much it would cost?

Local musician Jon Magidsohn plays at the Ivy House on 13th May. ?You wouldn?t think A World Without Corners was a debut album. Inhabiting a world that sounds adjacent to the soft-rock of ?70s California and more contemporary versions of that timeless sound, there?s a conviction, sophistication and depth to Jon?s tangled songs and voice." -- Martin Aston, music journalist.

There is a really useful Facebook site offering advice and support to potential hosts (as well as enabling people from Ukraine to post requests). A lot of dialogue there on the process. https://www.facebook.com/groups/654051075885672/about

Thanks everyone. Your advice was very helpful. We opted for a Samsung, which we got from Richer Sounds. Arrives tomorrow!

It's been a long time since we bought a telly. And we're flummoxed. We don't want to spend a lot of money (200 - ?350), We're looking for 39 or 40" -- what used to be classified as large, which is now apparently considered small. It needs to be easy to set up and use, have Freeview and all the streaming apps, and OK sound/picture quality, and ideally with wifi. We don't use Alexa. Can anyone offer advice on brands? There's too much to choose from! What brand do you have? And do you like it?

We insulated, and changed all of our windows, etc... And now have just installed a hot water tank, which we'll connect to solar power (Solar PV). So this means our gas consumption will just be for heat...total cost will be less than 2K (though my husband did some of the work himself), as we can use our existing combi boiler just for heat. Putting in a ground source pump wasn't feasible nor was an air source one as it would require lifting up all of the floors, and we have a small garden. But at least this plan will reduce our carbon footprint and our gas and electricity bills overall. You can also get solar thermal and not need solar PV.

Does anyone have advice for walk-in options for a PCR test for pre-travel? Most of the ones I've seen say post it Monday-Friday, but I'm travelling on a Tuesday so that won't work with the 72 hour limit! Anywhere nearby I can walk in for a reasonable amount? I don't have a car. Thanks

Hello! I'm starting a podcast -- basically an Agony Aunt for apathy. It will eventually source questions from the general public, but I need a few plants to help get it going, as I want 4 episodes pre-recorded before it launches. I need a couple of people who are concerned about a social or environmental issue, or even a local issue, but don't know where to start to do something about it. I already have a short-list of issues that I want to start with, but if you have another, I'm happy to look at it. Please DM me and I can send more info. Thanks!
