Old Dairy Closure

LukeG

Given the numbers of home renovations and new cars in the area, I think we're pretty safe from flopping back into the 80's?

I was partaking of the Joyce Juice. Intelligent critical theory mixed with open-minded humour and discourse. I hope you gained something from my interjection. All I want is to spread love. And Stroud Green needs love. I think 2000 was a date when the time curve shifted from it getting a good places for all races and classes and going downhill into it being a good place more for middle class white young folk. Discuss..

@kreuzkav You'll be reminiscing about Cheekos at this rate.

Actually what am I even saying, those were great days, when going out was about having a laugh and shortly before pubs started adding sofas and ponsy food, even the Red Cap used to be open until 3 in the morning.

kreuzkav

Cheekos? I'm barely 50. Tell me more; Where was this pub bar?

HolbornFox

Well I'm not 50 and I used to go in there, not sure if you're joking or not but it was above the Archway Tavern.

kreuzkav

That's all folks. Back to sober life

Seems like the Dairy has squatters. All the doors have County Court evicition notices on them and there is a strange Police previous closure order cancellation notice saying the place can open as there is not any violence on the premise. All served on behalf of Green King !

@kreuzkav had you sobered up by 6.47am?

kreuzkav

Yes foxie. I don't drink much now. Though I didn't arise at 6 am and do my 30 minute insight meditation. Like the odd binge. I was reading a bit of Burroughs. Well 'Burroughs and the Magical Universe'. Those cut ups send me on to Joyce juice. Better than junk, me thinks. I think I kept decorum. I hope? I was going on about the Kaballah (sic, can't be bothered to spell check) after the Bowie Station to Station post. I like all that Jewish mysticism mixed with Joyce, Bowie and a few cut-ups. Life is less linear. From Station to Station but not in the direct way. Better stop, change trains.

HolbornFox

The only Burroughs I have ever read is The Naked Lunch and it is safe to say I was not impressed, you should read Pour Me by AA Gill, that's a great book.

Your decorum was fine but I now think of you as dressed in a Riddler outfit.

Kreuzkav I believe I have seen you often in SGR, but I now have a new respect for you

Had my first visit to Stroud Green in three years and felt a bit sad seeing the Old Dairy boarded up. Lots of empty shops too.

Lots (lots!) of security personnel guarding the doors (and pavement) there this morning. Seems v OTT - anyone know what’s going on?

tuckage

Think it’s the bailiffs

They had all the eviction signs up yesterday, getting squatters out.

slats

ahh, i wondered what that was about, they've been outside my flat all day..

therattle

Yes, I passed by earlier and the signs attached were court orders for eviction. The men were from a security service, to evict, clear out and then secure the premises.

vetski

Ah, that explains the metal mesh which has appeared over the doors and windows.

therattle

Yeah, they are not mucking about.

slats

Has anyone heard anything further on the Old Dairy?

Maybe the pub will be reopened. A planning notice is attached next to the pub. It mentions new lighting and menu boards. Can anyone confirm this ?
