I am looking for, camping cookers, and eating utensils, bowls plates dishes, knives forks etc 

Preferably local, as i can pick up via push bike,

Pleae be aware, that further distances I am reliant on public transport, so accuracy of timing cannot be guaranteed 100% of the time.

Camping cookers must be safe to use 

Multi-fuel cookers are best, however all types in usable safe condition will be gratefully received.

Thank you in advance.

I put on for some non food items, and olio, in their wisdom or lack thereof, decides to include then in a up to 100 item per every four 4 weeks.

They alo include food items on the same up to 100 a month quota.

Here is my rant on their forums, I wonder if they will remove it like they they removed other posts of mine.

I have just had it confirmed, that folk avoid requesting personal items advertised, as they prefer to save the food items, due to the quotas being mixed.

When non food items ads expire, there are other platforms to advertise them on, or get donated to charity/thrift stores.

When food adverts expire, good food ends up in landfills, if;

1) the food is not suitable to compost,

2) olio'ers do not have the room to compost,

3) olio'ers do not have the facilities or know how, to compost

4) olio'ers are not allowed to have more than their 10%

5) olio'ers do not have canine, feline or other mammals as food disposal systems 

For some it could mean the difference of eat or starve. Yes folk can go to foodbanks, yet that also defeats the objectives to save via olio, when we should be promoting and recruiting olio to all, not just a few.

Which builds a larger community to save more food from going to the landfill 

Imagine, if you will...

8 billion people on this planet, with approximately 7 billion starving across the world...

Farmers being told to waste and bury food, that the supermarkets agent's say are not looking aesthetically pleasing to their eyes.and now n some states and countries they are told to water the crops less.

We could stop world hunger over night, if farmers were allowed to sell instead of being forced to bury, which will also reduce the cost and higher prices.

It is all well and good, to use apps like Olio etc, as a means to prevent food waste, yet many do not need the extra food for themselves, in contrast to many who need the food for survival.

Many folk on apps like Olio that collect food from the FWH's do not need the food, as they can afford to buy their own.

Whereas there are many folk trying to get food to survive, yet they are met with delays when placing requests, due to adverts, advertising Olio, an app that they are already in, unless they pay a subscription to remove such adverts.

Yet there still be a time delay after so many requests for food are made regardless of paid subscription or not.

There are homeless folk, and folks who have roofs over their head, equally suffering everyday, due to lack of food etc.

Yet bureaucratic red tape, say members are only permitted to only get up to 100 food items per month on Olio.

Plus if it's past use by date, but perfectly good, yet members are not allowed to distribute food items past the use by date of perfectly fit for consumption.

whereas some members justify their greed by saying things like, at least is has not gone to landfill.

FYI:

I put a shorter version of this blog on Olio, and within 15 minutes it was removed, which speaks clear volumes, of hitting the truth to those in greed rather than those in actual need.

What suggestions do you have from experience and or observation, can you come up with to please help improve this situation...??
