Cassette Tape Converter

I recently bought this gadget from Lidl as I have very many cassettes and hoped to transfer lots of favourites to CD.  The first one didn't work and I was sent a replacement very quickly from Germany - there is a London based help number.  The software ... more »

Hi, I do some technology stuff in the Daily Express so have some contacts who i may be able to pull out of the bag to help.  Is it Lidl or Acorn that I should put the screws on?
Kate B.
I believe Lidl would have given me a refund if within their returns time but I wanted an item that worked. Acorn have not replied re the software at all, and Silvercrest supplied the package to Lidl and don't consider themselves liable for faulty ... more »

Homemade burgers are relatively cheap and always go down well (bBC good food site has recipes but basically just mince, egg, breadcrumbs, seasoning). I would do one or one and half per person. The rest really depends on budget - chicken drumsticks are ... more »

Just to reiterate what Vicky says: cook the chicken in the oven mostly before you reheat it on the barbeque.

Diamond Jubilee Festival - Battersea Park - Child's ticket wanted

I mistakenly thought children got in free to the Festival and therefore didn't need a ticket.  So now I have the adult tickets and no ticket for our 5 year old.  Does anyone have a spare ticket we could buy off you?

Apparently - and I haven't checked - they are going for ridiculous money on eBay.
Sue B
We don't have that sort of money.  I think some people have taken advantage of the popularity of the event having seen the shortage of tickets and decided to make some money.  Fair play to them, I guess.  Thanks Vivian for the thought....you should take ... more »

Can you post here some of your ideas to improve the Latchmere ward and surrounding areas? What would you do with the money to make this part of Battersea a better place to live for all communities?
Vivian B.
Is the Latchmere award applicable to the St Mary's Ward??? Only ask because the walk-in is in a different area to that awarded so any suggestions will be for the area surrounding (probably) the venue of the walk in.  I - for one - wouldn't have a clue ... more »

We have had a case just the other side of Wandsworth Bridge roundabout and we have had the attempted theft of parts, locks etc.  A few nights ago at about 1.30 am we had a little gang of children (one said he was 14, some looked younger).  A neighbour ... more »

Tigger knows best
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/diamond-jubilee-events-bus-hub-map.pdf Here is the list of bus hubs. Worlds End although looks like Cheyne Walk to me and Battersea Bridge Road junction with Battersea Park Road. Hope this helps
Mike R.
Yes, looks like Tigger knows best knows best! It's a long walk for anyone coming from anywhere north of the river to pick up a bus to Clapham Junction and beyond. Almost as quick to walk to Clapham Junction.

It is important to know that the fitting of children's footwear is all the more serious as feet do not fully form until the approximate age of eighteen. The feet of a child is most susceptible to damage until the final developing and firming of bones, ... more »

Hi.  I think that soft leather shoes like Daisy Roots would be your best option.  You can easily order them online, or else either Trotters or One Small Step as already suggested, or JoJo Maman Bebe on Northcote Road should sell them or something ... more »

Book club

Would anyone be interested in setting a book club up in the clapham junction area? If so I might have a word with Waterstones or the library and see if something could be organised with them. Let me know if there's any interest out there!
