There is one in Cornwall Road, I'll be escaping if possible.
Yagamuffin is the Cornwall Rd one going ahead? I have not seen any road closure notices. We are working on our back yard this weekend and likely to have a van parked outside at least one day this weekend. I need to know if we can drive into our road!
@Ilovegreyhounds We had a leaflet through the door about it a few weeks ago and then a couple nocked on the door at the weekend. I think they said that the road would be closed and there would be no parking, I can't remember their names though and I've not seen anything official from the council.
We havent heard from anyone :( Do you know the day for the Cornwall Rd one?
Aha, its on the 3rd June This link lists road closures in Haringey over the weekend
Mount Pleasant Villas, Monday 4 June. Road closed 8am-midnight
bbq from 6-ish
take along food and drink to share
All this from a flyer through my door from someone called Nina in Mount Pleasant Crescent.
While the richer and poorer residents are bowing down to worship a woman made of flesh and blood like the rest of us, I'll be walking and cycling around the southern part of this green and pleasant land.
I know and have known quite a few public schoolboys and I don't dislike them as people. Some are quite nice people. I just don't like the class system. The public schoolboys and girls have (generally) too many kudos.
I'm going to make American-style cupcakes with: Republic! Freedom! Democracy! Liberty! a "No Smoking" type red slashed circle with a crown in it Bank Holiday! etc in icing.
Street parties are a good way to get to know your neighbours.
I think a public-school boy once broke Kreuzkav's heart ...
What you can't get Mr G. Joe is that some of us just have ideals. It's not about me. It's about my ideals. I have hung out with all sorts of people from trust funders to council estaters. My friends are my friends. I just don't like elitism and the class system. I certainly don't get why people bow to a woman or man because they're deemed queen or king. It's like believing in Father Christmas aged 40. Childish. And my girlfriends have all been working or lower middle class. Never dated a public schoolgirl. Maybe in the future.
@ Vetski. Maybe you posh lot get Father Christmas past 7 years old. Hey, you do. Flats to yourself in leafy Stroud Green, French nannies, breakfast at Boulangerie Fake French. You feel cheated if the the Ocado van is ten minutes late you get the wrong salami. You can't find the strawberry beer that Jacks offie promised. And all the ski slopes have melted.
@ brodiej. I've noticed. Anytime I looked at this site recently it was like sitting in a funeral home watching a corpse that wasn't connected through friendship or family to you.
I admire the Queen because she is doing a job she never chose and has done it well for 60 years. I cannot imagine having to do her job, and even living in a palace with all that jewellery would not be worth having to do exactly what was expected of you and having your entire life planned out for you for 60 years. She does have access to a world of wealth and privilege, yes, but she does not seem to be a spendthrift extravagant type. I love the Queen and am massively excited about the Jubilee. I doubt that anyone alive now will see another Diamond Jubilee and I'm looking forward to seeing our country put on a fantastic show of the pomp and ceremony that we do so well. Kreuzkav. Being from a working class family doesn't make you on the side of the angels. Judge people on who they are, not what their parents did for a living or where they went to school. That's how you'd expect to judged....right?
Yes, all very good about your grandparents. My grandfather was bog cutter in Ireland and the other one cut trees. It's how you grew up and I didn't grow up on a housing estate. And you grew up as doctor's child. Maybe not the £100,000 some get now but you had a nanny. That's posh in my books. There is class and posh. I don't know you but I'm basing my judgement on the facts you give me.
