Request: kitchen blender (Southport PR8) KITCHEN BLENDER 1.5 LITRE OR LARGER PREFERRED (but may be alright with 1.25 LITRE) My own is starting to smoke and has already burned out the first speed and the pulse switch contacts. If anyone has a blender that they no longer use ( the cosmetic condition is unimportant as long as it works okay) it would be put to good use. Many thanks.

Request: creocote wood preservative (Southport PR8) Any Creocote to try and save my gate. This is the modern equivalent of traditional "creosote" which is still used on railway sleepers but only available for commercial users, so I cannot ask for that on this site! Modern substitutes will still be good, so if you have some that is unwanted let me know. Thank you.
