@LancashireCC A worker at Leyland said to me that good stuff at the centre at Leyland goes in a container and gets sold to a chap that buys the container, that was when I asked why we dont have a shop like at Cottam.

♻️ Got stuff too good to waste? Drop it off at a charity shop or your local recycling centre and give it a second life! 🧸 Turn clutter into kindness! Councillor Joshua Roberts, our cabinet member for Rural Affairs, Environment and Communities encourages you to donate homewares, clothes, books and bikes so they can enjoy a second life in our reuse shop, hub and community projects.

If you have a delivery due from DX then its not looking good if they dont deliver too many parcels to your area , it seems the process is to keep holding it back until they get a few deliveries in my area. I have not heard of this system before. It's now Monday 8th and still no parcel!

I already have one Spectrum Next and have ordered two more, dont miss out on yours. You can opt to pay in 3 instalments if it's easier.

There are just 13 hours to go until the Spectrum Next Kickstarter 3 ends! If you have or had any interest in the Spectrum, Sinclair QL, Commodore 64, CPC, BBC or just in to retro computing in general then order yours up until 8am UK time tomorrow (Monday) kickstarter.com/projects/spect…
