Wanted: anyone who was standing near the bus shelter on Churchway on Thursday morning and heard a man describe, at length and with total accuracy, the entire history of narrow gauge railway signalling. I was late for an appointment and had to leave at the point where it got good. I would simply like to know how it ends, and I am prepared to buy the coffee.

- Free to a good home: a greenhouse, dismantled, currently in forty one numbered pieces and one unnumbered piece that we think is structural. The instructions were lost in a house move in a decade we no longer discuss. Take the lot, take your time, take the unnumbered piece very seriously.Box C018
- Lost on the footpath behind the cricket club: one wedding ring, plain gold, slipped off while demonstrating a bowling action that was already a mistake in 1998. The grass has been searched by me, by my wife, and by a man with a metal detector who found nine bottle tops and a sense of purpose. Reward offered, and no questions asked about why I was bowling.Box C019
