Thanks to Billy at Hunter Heating Solutions.

Trouble is he's so good that he's in demand. He squeezed me in as I've known him for years. Try his brother Scott on 07983 704069.

More like poor quality, knackered and would be practically unsellable without being badly painted.


Vintage is another one - ageing, not good enough quality to rank as an antique but still fairly attractive in certain contexts. (Just realised this may mean I'm vintage - hurrah!)

"Retro/vintage" shops that sell tat that has been thrown out because it's well worn and past it's sell by date, at hugely inlflated prices. Many such shops have opened in Crystal Palace during the past 2 years.

Thus proving that there is a market for such items.

    • I’d also like to reiterate the above. I called Paul after seeing the recommendation here. He came the next day. Found a fix for a problem with the wiring for my fridge/freezer. He was quick to respond, totally constructive and very reasonably priced. Paul will now be my go to electrician and I’d be happy to recommend him. Kate (Paul Edgley 07802 627967)
    • Please get in touch, I have your belongings. 
    • We left behind a Brickhouse fabric tote bag (white, black handles) with a sketchbook and pastels/markers/ brushes at Perks & White at Herne Hill station yesterday at about 8.45am. Sadly it has not been handed in to the Cafe or station staff. The drawings and sketches are a collection we have built over a long period so of huge sentimental value. If anyone comes across this would be grateful if they could let me me know. A photo of the sketchbook and bag behind attached (just before I realised I had left it behind) Many thanks!
    • I was under the impression that a local councillor lives in that street. Presumably then, the council are already aware.
