Request:
A claret-red AGA biscuit tin from 2020 (Willingdon BN20)
Is there anyone who would be willing to give me a claret-red AGA biscuit tin from 2020 (see photo!) in very good, undamaged condition? It is for a Yule or Xmas gift for a dear friend who wishes he had bought one when they were available in the shops! I have searched eBay and the internet in general but no luck.

Request:
Pair of Croydex (type) flexible rubber kitchen tap extenders (Willingdon BN20)
Withdrawn
A pair of Croydex (type) flexible rubber kitchen tap extenders. These used to be sold in every hardware store but no longer. The only affordable ones available online now are rigid, not the "bendy" or flexible type. "Bendy rubber tap extenders are flexible attachments that push onto standard kitchen taps to prevent splashing and direct water flow." The only ones I found on Amazon cost £33 for two. The last pair we bought in a trad. type hardware shop for ca £3-4.

Request:
Landline Corded Telephone & connecting cable! (Willingdon BN20)
Withdrawn
WANTED, please! Landline corded telephone with keypad and coiled cord & the connecting cable. My one has probably died, although it is rather a coincidence that this happened just as Zen (my provider) switched my connection from the copper cable network to the fibre optics network. My landline telephone is completely dead; NO dialling tone, in spite of being correctly connected to the dongle that plugs in to the "new" router Zen sent me, which is plugged in to the FON port in the router.
