Laptop repairs in the area

Hi everyone,Would anyone be able to recommend a handyman capable of fixing a laptop in the local area?I've looked at a few businesses but most of them are charging £60 to £80 for a fairly simple replacement (display cable needs replacing, have all of the parts in hand).Thanks in advance!

A C20 transformer pillar, probably 1910 give or take a few year, in Wimbledon. (Apparently there are a handful left, and one in Tadworth is grade 2 listed.)                    https://flic.kr/p/23SeMgh

Looks like Khans convinced

Seems Mayor Khan is happy to follow the PM and remove compulsory mask wearing from London transport.

Work from NOT home options in Putney?

OK so I mostly work from home at the moment and do a lot of laptop work and Teams video calls. I will be unable to work from home for a day next week due to some work being done on the flat so was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or knows of any places where I could work for one day. Perhaps office/desk for hire places in the vicinity? A coffee shop, library or similar isn't an option as i need a quiet/private-ish place to do video calls.Thanks in advance

Not convinced with the lifting of restrictions

I am not convinced, or comfortable, with the lifting of restrictions announced by the PM today.It all seems to quick and political to me.  It would also have been more sensible to do this in the spring and not in winter?One hotelier is telling the staff to go to work if the have no symptoms but yes a positive test result????

So the James Webb …

… telescope may be able to detect pollution on exoplanets; mmm … but surely civilized, intelligent life wouldn't pollute it's own planet, would it? https://phys.org/news/2022-02-webb-telescope-civilizations-air-pollution.html

Does anyone know of a local one?  Plenty in Putney but when you go into detail they are all under corporate group which I don't want
