Free: Swedish books for anyone learning the language (Headington OX3) A variety of books and even a cassette course on Swedish language (can't promise the cassettes still work), including two novels in Swedish, one being Graham Greene's 'The Third Man'. The textbooks have some pencil markings in them which could be rubbed out. Ideal if you've made a New Year's resolution to learn a new language!

Free: Dell keyboard and monitor (Headington OX3) Gifted These are from a Dell Optiplex bought 2003. The monitor connects via a 15-pin D-shaped connector (cable supplied).

Free: Sony FM radio and cassette player (Headington OX3) Gifted Sony radio, still works well, but note it's FM, longwave etc, not DAB.
