Helicopter overhead, apparently there are armed police swarming all over the next estate - SiL walked past them, and the C&C vehicle has tucked itself down the side of my house. Presumably because it’s out of the line of sight of where things are getting interesting.
I went out for a little nosey but they’ve already been clobbered by Mad Jeannette from down the way - they’ll be stuck talking to her for weeks 
Just had a look from an upstairs window - there’s a whole flipping convoy and a lot of people in body armour
Have you been reporting people for pebble dashing the front of their houses again?

But they’re a teensy bit spendy…
I really like Mend it Marks vids, he tackles some interesting stuff.
I found him through the HH S500D mod he did. He charges £100 to do that which seems reasonable enough.
That radiogram is very purdy but as you say, a bit pricey - you could get a bike for that
Radiogram? 
The original Mark Mends vid was a radiogram. I didnt spot the lack of a TT on that Radio.
On the subject of vintage radios (paging @Valvebloke), this is for sale for £75 in a charity shop near us in pretty decent physical condition.
