24-hour digital display mains clock (Barons Court W14)
This is identical to the model offered by Amazon; see / , though mine was purchased from Asda. (The model currently offered by Asda is somewhat different.) The switches and so on controlling the alarm function and the radio have become unreliable, so this is really now only any use as a clock. You may be able to resurrect its other functions. (It is because I need the alarm function but I have otherwise been very pleased with it that I have replaced it with the identical model from Amazon.) If you don’t need the alarm or radio, it is a perfectly reliable clock. Note that the Amazon description is wrong in suggesting that the “display can be set as a 12 or 24 hour clock”. It works only in 24-hour mode, so that 1 p.m. Shows as 13:00, not 1:00 or 01:00. (I consider that an advantage!) I’m in Barons Court, near the Queen’s Club.

JVC 32" LED Smart TV (faulty) (Barons Court W14)
Gifted
JVC 32" LED Smart TV, model LT-32C670(D) - its specification and documentation can easily be obtained via a web search. It is not fully working but almost certainly able to be repaired, or it could be taken apart for spares. It was working fine but the picture suddenly developed some flickering, so most of the set is working - the power supplies, the tuner, the display itself, and so on. In excellent cosmetic condition. Someone with the knowledge will be able to repair this. Includes the power lead, but no remote control, as this failed; suitable generic remote controls are easily available. I’m in Barons Court (W14 9HU), near Queen’s (tennis) Club.

Cutlery pouch (Barons Court W14)
Expired
Cutlery pouch, suitable for use in camping. Strong canvas, 30 x 20 cm, with a fabric lining having separately stitched pockets on the inside for cutlery items and the like. Rolls up in use and is secured by attached tapes. Almost certainly home-made. Obviously washable (and just laundered). I think of this item as a “housewife” (pronounced “huzzif”) - no sexism intended - but dictionaries tell me that this term is reserved for similar items used for carrying sewing supplies. Perhaps it was that, too. I’m in Barons Court, W14 9HU, near the Queen’s [tennis] Club.

Jam Jars (Barons Court W14)

I have nineteen standard (454g = 1lb) jam jars, clean and with lids but still with labels. Any jam makers out there? I’m in Barons Court, W14 9HU, near Queen’s Club tennis courts.

Stainless steel flask (Barons Court W14)
Expired
This is a 350 mL stainless steel flask, purchased from Asda. It was a vacuum flask and worked well, doing good service, but air has evidently now got into what was the vacuum space, so it no longer properly keeps the contents hot (or, presumably, cold). But it would suffice as a sealed container for liquids (drinks?) that did not need to be kept hot or cold. The flask itself does not leak. Perfect for taking gazpacho to your picnic? I’m in Barons Court, W14 9HU, near Queen’s Club tennis courts.
