These swimming flippers are size 40-41 and fit somebody ehre and possibly other family members. They will be pressed into service when said individuals next encounter suitable conditions.
This random bottle of engine coolant mixture was discarded near the waste oil disposal and seems to be new and unused. Lovely stuff for an old beater that uses coolant.
This Centurion Le Mans 12 road bike had some rust issues when picked up but is cleaning up pretty nicely. It just needs spiffy bar tape and then can inserted under a hipster's butt in exchange for cash.
This Ross Eurotour bike was sort of a discard at a local bike shop. We traded a piece of the Specialized carcass for it and then spruced it up and inserted it under some hipster's arse. The wheels of commerce turn, often without falling off.
This random wooden sledge seems to be in new and unused condition. This may come in handy for dragging lazy offspring around in the snow when winter rears its snowy head.
A Maclaren Mac 3 pushchair was discarded and was incomplete. We used some parts from it to fix another Mac 3 we had in stock but in the Maclaren was this screwdriver and a small bicycle pump. Fine and dandy.
A map of London, a Darwin awards book and what might be an aperitif glass. They could be clues to a murder or just some junk.
This Instep 10k Ultimate surely does not imply with its name that you should be running 10 kilometres with your two lazy disgusting offspring in this thing. Hmmmmmmm. The hand grip foam was all broken so we threw some cheap bike bar tape on there and it will appear on the list of craig forthwith.
This snazzy Trek MT60 was more or less picked up to order for an acquaintance whose daughter is less than enthused about her current bike. One hopes she shall be happier with this, it is in near perfect shape and quite fancy for a bike for a 5 year old.
These stainless steel shelves are the standard items from the Metropolitan Wire Corporation. We have a pair exactly like this already so we may have to now buy some legs or some such to make a nice shelving unit. Legs are cheap, these large stainless shelves are not.
This Karcher pressure washer has had the cord cut and is missing everything but we will test it for functionality. Since we got a few pressure washers lots of readers of this publication have expressed interest.
This random Instep double jogging stroller is in OK shape except for the handlebar grip material, a common issue. Some road bike bar tape and it will be ready to thrust itself upon the world again, starting with the list of craig.
This thing is lamentably missing a good name by we will employ the token "handcycle" for the time being. It was in fine shape but nearly unusable due to dry bearings. This was a course remedied with a little red oil can and it is now a pretty functional offspring amusement device.
Yet another Britax car seat. Nothing wrong with this one and it will stored for future short term deployment.
This random little Powerwasher 1400 was sitting by the curb in a nearby town. A plastic quick-release fitting had been used on the hose coupling for the water inlet and it had indulged in a spot of brittle fracture. We unscrewed the old coupling fragment and put on a shiny new one and voila, the thing works fine. Reason for discard was presumably the broken coupling (not part of the unit itself) but also contributing could have been the fact that the power cable and high pressure hose were nastily knotted up.
A couple of random bikes, First a Schwinn Varsity with very little wrong with apart from a coating of dust and spot of rust.
Next a Raleigh Sprite that had been crunched by the bucket loader. So far it seems that only the rear wheel is damaged so this should be fixable pretty easily.
This random cheapo tile cutter is in pretty much unused condition. We have one similar so this is available to all and sundry. Simon or Charlie?
If you wish to carry your offspring around in a manner that is condusive to longer walks and actually getting there then plonking them in one of these devices is a feasible option. We have no need of it though and will hence purvey this item to some nice poeple made known to us by the list of craig.
