Knee and hip motorbike armour (Chelmsford, CM1)
Three sets of knee and hip armour for motorbike jeans. One set fits Bullitt jeans, the other two are for Knox jeans. Of course could be repurposed for other uses, with a bit of imagination. Is perfectly fine, I have bought thinner armour now, and I am using these jeans off the bike too.

Excess food items (Chelmsford, CM1)
Gifted
Two packs of Koko Kids 1L UHT milk substitute. Well in date, but I don't like the taste, too creamy for me. These two are unopened. Five unopened packs of Kallo rice cakes. Four have a BB date of 13th August 2025, one went out of date in April so is probably still OK. I stopped eating rice cakes, nothing wrong with them. Jar of Percol Columbian coffee, 100g. I drank the other jar I had, but I didn't like it. Unopened. Happy to split. Update: Rice cakes and coffee are promised. Koko Kids 1L cartons are still available.
