  Pretty certain that's the shop two up from the Post Office - the one that does the Christmas trees and suggests you ask inside about fresh corniada. Nice people - it's a real shame. Glad they weren't hurt any worse than this.

  Is that tinsel still up in the foreground? Shocking.

  Well to be fair to them, it did happen on 21 Dec.

  Ooops, so it is - my bad. Though this makes one wonder why it's only hitting the news now, when any passers by are likely to have forgotten the details of what they've seen (and there don't seem to be any incident boards on Blackstock Road, either).

  That's what I always think about the reconstructions on Crimewatch as well - they're always incidents which happened months ago. I can barely remember what I was doing last week.

  I'm not sure it is in Blackstock Rd: I don't recognise it. Could be that poor old Blackstock's being bandied about again to tie in with previous incidents and bad press. Maybe it is on Seven Sisters up near the Post Office as WillM suggests.

  Gonca Supermarket, Blackstock Road. Not sure where that is.

  Its where the 19 bus stops going towards Finsbury Park as you come down the hill from Highbury Barn.
