There are more trilby wearers in SG than you'd think. Once you start noticing them you'll see them everywhere.
My truck with SL, the bar on my doorstep was the noise over the summer, which was terrible. Not full on techno but crowds (and I mean crowds at some stages) shouting their heads off. My neighbours who are very laid back thought the same as me!
For a few moments I was just remembering a time (not in Camden, but in Hackney) when shopping wasn't a fetish and there were lots of nice bars. I love some of the bars here too like the Faltering Fallback and even the Old Dairy, but they pale in comparison, just was being nostalgic.
By the way, these bars weren't late night and there wasn't a smoking ban. If they were late night there was a lock in and you couldn't go out and noise was sealed in.
Anyway, today I did my first big shop since the Sainsbury's opened. Went to Tesco nonetheless, because I knew some stuff I wanted wasn't in Sainsbury's and other bits were more expensive, but I did get the feeling that Tesco had been obliged to raise its game; first time in ages they've had everything that was on my shopping list.
Less happily, some form of Law of Conservation of Free Cashpoints seems to have kicked in; the Post Office one is out of action until further notice on account of a "serious fault".
As others have commented on here, without patronising them, there's a wealth of characters along SGR. Sometimes the walk from Horsey Road along Tollington Park and its two churches sets me dreaming. Some interesting looking houses between them too!
