Would anyone be so kind as to lend me their cricket whites for this weekend? I've been roped into a game but I don't play so can't justify buying a set. Naturally, I'll return them smelling fresher than fresh and dazzling white. Ready to throw beers etc at it to get the deal over the line! Please and thank you.

I’ve always been happy with the Houseplant Focus Repotting Mix.

A large white button down shirt from Edwin. Used but as new condition. There are no marks or stains and as you can see from photos the collar and armpits are still crisp white.

Unusual feature is that the shirt has two pockets.

Hi @kati and @hoefla, @owl has kindly said he’ll only take a third of the cuttings so you can both have some too. I’ll get in touch through PM

Of course - PM me with your availability and I'll let you know when works.

Probably about four years, but I've needed to prune it a fair number of times. I tend to find during winter there's always at least one leaf unfurling somewhere on the plant and during spring / summer every strand will be putting out growth.

It’s time to prune my satin pothos. It’s a prolific trailing variety with beautiful velvety leaves and I was wondering if anyone would like the offcuts for cuttings? It’s easy to propagate either in water or straight into soil. Probably will end up taking about a foot off the length (maybe more). Based in Brockley.

Thank you for your advice.

Same goes to @Cupcakes and @Howard - thanks guys

We've just had an offer accepted on a two bed flat in South East London. Does anyone have any surveyor recommendations? Also, if it's a ground floor flat in a Victorian terrace would a full structural survey be overkill? I like the idea of the additional comfort, but also don't want to incur additional costs unnecessarily

Friendly bump because said friend is still searching - thank you!

This is perfect! Did you use a Dutch oven?

Hi, a friend is going on a tour and looking for a steel touring bike in 52/54cm. She'd want to test ride so is confined to London options only. Please get in touch if you have anything which sounds like it will tick the boxes. Thanks

Just set up a monthly donation. Ashamed it's taken me so long as it only took only a few clicks and less than 30 seconds. @Velocio, thank you for the work you put into maintaining the forum

If you don't mind losing the floured lines the banneton gives it, I'd suggest lining the banneton with a floured (low gluten / gluten free flour, so rye or rice) tea towel. If you're retarding in the fridge it's far more likely to stick so I would definitely use a tea towel

Decided to branch out and went for a fig and walnut sourdough. Very happy with the results. (Done in Dutch oven in a non-fan assisted oven - lid taken off halfway through and moved the shelf up.)

Freecycle: Cotswold Eight Grain Flour. I was sent this by mistake and don't have space to store five bags of flour I'm unlikely to get through too quickly. I'll hold on to one bag so I have four to give away. I'm in East Dulwich, SE22.

Thanks a lot guys!

Not sure if this video link will work, but if it does....new rear hub needed or is it a mech issue?

In the market for a set (or possible front brake only) of avid shorty ultimates

Okay thanks, good to know - I think I'm going to go down the LD route. For reference, in case anyone wants to use Osbornes, (who have a tie in with LCC) they originally told me the success fee was going to be 25% but when I mentioned I was in discussion with a couple of other solicitors they called me back and said they could go down to 15% (or 10% if the opponent admits liability within 21 days) - I didn't push for this reduction at all. Anyway, I've decided to go for Leigh Day and will let you know how I get on.

Hi @hippy - did you get a decent payout with Leigh Day? All of the solicitors that I've contacted so far take up to 25% of the settlement apart from Leigh Day who take out some type of insurance product which means that if I win and the settlement is <£25,000 then I pay them c. £150 (if I lose then the insurance company pays them something). The cynic in me thinks that they won't fight very hard if that's all they get for their efforts. There's a real science to this...

Thanks a lot for all of your suggestions. I'll ring around and see who's keen and what cut they're going to take. I don't have any household insurance (another thing that's been on my to do list for years) so I think I'll have to pay for the solicitor out of the damages

Thanks a lot for you advice, Cornelius. Sadly I'm not a member of either cycling uk or llc so if anyone on the forum can recommend a solicitor (preferably not a fee based one) it would be massively appreciated.

What's the general forum consensus wrt going for a no-win-no-fee type solicitor vs doing it yourself? I was doored on the weekend and broke my collarbone. The police are involved, I have witnesses, they'll be an A&E report somewhere, so part of me feels as though it should be possible to do it myself. That said, I do buy in to the logic that solicitors might be able to recover more in damages and I imagine the admin involved in doing it yourself is enormous. Any thoughts?

Hi Jon, in case this goes down the split route - I'm v keen on the frameset
