Items from the Wandsworth Museum Collection go on display at the new Wandsworth Town Centre library. Coming to #Tooting soon? Here's hoping.

Your fixers name is Mike and he's very OG too! You should take your bicycle to him.

@tttooting @RestartProject Then the Fixer showed me how it operates and we located the potential issue. 2 seconds wiggling something about and BINGO!
Finally we did a test to make sure the current was running the whole way through and I’ve saved myself £60! #FixingTooting

Today’s family friendly workshop is full. On Tues night enjoy a fascinating talk with demos

There’s no work or demos on 17th, 18th, 19th Aug, but our shop should be open.

Victorian sewers are blamed for sewer overflows.
But that's not correct.
In dry weather they perform very well indeed. Few spill*.
When it RAINS they can't cope, because much more RAIN enters the sewer than when they were built - we've paved so much of London.
It's the RAIN.
