Request: Weight for an old Prestige pressure cooker (Chorley SK9) After 40+ years of service, the weight on my Prestige pressure cooker has fallen apart (see photos). Spares of this type don't seem to be available online. I've tried gluing it but it hasn't worked, so I'm posting here just in case somebody has one sitting around unused that they would kindly be willing to pass on.

Request: Frame or frame parts for gazebo (Chorley SK9) Expired The gazebo that belongs to our young persons' athletics club unfortunately has a broken frame but its cover is intact.

The frame is a folding type (please see photo of partially-erected frame) and it is made of steel. Its footprint is 3m by 3m and the sides are 2m tall. Thank you.
