Request: Oscillating tool blades. (Netherfield, Kendal LA9) I have just picked up an oscillating tool from a boot sale with only one blade. I would like some different types of blade even if they are blunt. I can have a go at sharpening them as I was once in tool sharpening, but not of this type. Cheers. Mike.

Request: Laptop (Netherfield, Kendal LA9) Expired Seeking a laptop as mine has run out of storage space. The storage on my HP Stream laptop is so small that an accumulation of updates etc has minimised it so no more updates can be downloaded. I have uninstalled as many programmes and old updates as I dare to, but to no advantage. Searches on the net show that the HP Stream does have this problem. The answer being, to get a better machine. So, I wonder if anyone has a working one to spare? Thank you

Free: 18v Battery Hedge trimmer (Netherfield, Kendal LA9) Gifted Rather old Kingtec hedge trimmer. Still working. 50cm (18") blade. Model number UH2005. The nickel cadmium 18 volt battery will charge and work but I don't know for how long. The fast charger unit with it seems to get rather warm but still charges ok.
