Request: Bookbinding fabric (small amount) (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) Can anyone near Cholsey let me have a small amount of a dark bookbinding fabric? I have been asked to renew the spine on a medium-sized book. Maroon, grey or black ideal.

Free: Small fluorescent fittings 20" (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) These 240V fittings take small, slim-line 20-inch tubes. Now rather old-school but great for garage, loft etc. where you don't need the ultimate in energy saving. Sorry, no tubes. If interested, please request phone number to make arrangements.

11d

Free: Citroen 15" wheel trims x 3 (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) Three Citroen 15" wheel trims (from a 2016 Berlingo); used but presentable. Perhaps somebody needs a replacement for the one that bowled off into the verge like mine.

13d

Request: Large Kilner jar (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) Does anyone have a large Kilner jar languishing in a kitchen cupboard? I'd be pleased to give it a good home. I'm afraid it has to be the type illustrated, with the orange plastic ring.

20d

Request: Projector lamp A1 240V 150W (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) In time-honoured fashion, the bulb blew just at the start of the slideshow. Does anyone happen to have a spare of this sort of projector lamp? I understand that it's Type A1, 240 Volts, 150 Watts, with a BA15S bayonet-type base. Sylvania (maker) refers to it as 'blue top' for pretty obvious reasons.

20d

Free: Two Metposts 3" (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) Gifted Two Metposts with 3" sockets; a little scruffy but essentially sound; will need new bolts & nuts. Stored in the dry, so no bad corrosion. Note that I will ask you to telephone to arrange collection.

21d

Free: 6-berth frame tent (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) Withdrawn PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. I have an elderly but complete 6-berth frame tent, which I acquired for use as a temporary workshop, although it has been used for camping. It's mostly brown and orange, and resembles the one in the photo. It needs-re-proofing (I may be able to help) and there is some repaired damage to a window. All poles are colour-coded for ease of assembly. There is no groundsheet except in the hanging sleeping compartment. Pegs and guy lines were all present when last inspected. It won't impress fellow-campers at its age but is basically respectable to behold. If you want to see it unfolded and/or erected, you'll have to promise to help pack it away again. I want the space it's taking up and perhaps somebody else needs some short-term covered space or a playroom for the kids.

49d

Free: Digital Video tapes x 8 (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) Eight DV tapes (60 and 90 minutes) and one empty case. Please expect to phone me (number on request) if interested, to make arrangements.

Free: Irises, probably orange (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) Gifted These were dug up weeks ago but seem to have remained fresh in the wet weather. As far as I recall, flowers are orange. No trouble to grow but give them space. I will ask you to PHONE to arrange collection; I don't bite.

118d

Request: Male mannequin and/or wig stand (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) Expired Such things don't grow on trees, I know, but I have a museum project that would benefit from a male mannequin, complete with arms and legs.

Free: Cardboard boxes, misc. sizes (Cholsey/Wallingford OX10) Expired Sorry no photo but I have a 'clutter' of useful-sized cardboard boxes that must go by tomorrow, which is bin day. Mostly on the small side, so not too heavy to lift. Would suit somebody putting things away in a loft. Probably not all that good for moving house. Note that I'll ask you to phone me to fix collection.
