@HolbornFox Wow! You left at 5.30 am. That sounds like SG stills has spirit. Telll me more....

What's with the Sir and Lord stuff still pervading modern London. Get rid of titles. It's like something out of playschool. Sorry, medieval times. And it's not be played with. A relic of feualism. Yes I'm anti-monarchist. And I don't like the P…

I would also sugest getting a concerned group of people together in the cafe or other nearby establishment. That's what we did with SL, and the rest was history.

@Scruffy Was it not called The White Lion when it was a Weatherspoons in the 90s? I remember the 'ye olde look'. It had its hoods. As in different groups of people had their seating areas every time I went in. You wouldn't dare sit where they sat.

Is Chang back? Maybe me coming back has summoned him. The same writing style. Quite funny and quirky. And it's not me.

Right, I'm going to be nostalgist but here goes. I remember when it was fairly wild. In the 90s it felt like you were in the countryside. So there were times of years you couldn't walk it. The last few years living near it (2014-2016), it tunred …

Oh, yes! Sparks (No. 1 shop in Stroud Green). Sorry, bad pun on Sparks the band's song 'No. 1 song in heaven'. Red frontage but got re-jigged about 2010, year zero for re-jigging for me in SG. I think it was a slower process than 2010. Spark was…

Thanks Ali. I think it turned into a chemist about 15 years ago. Maybe more. I got photos taken with Michael for a passport when he had the place across the road from me..(the photo and print shop) . I think it closed when I was still living t…

He always insisted on giving me a blue plastic bag. Even before the shaming. Despite a few items. I'd say no need, he scowled. Do you remember the bigger shop that was just up a few doors heading towards The Old Dairy, in the 90s into the 2000s…

Chapter One started around 2003 and had music but had proper security who didn't allow people to shout their heads off for hours outside . It closed and Sugar was there in 2010. I wasn't around for a while but I think it started then. They just h…

@HolbornFox Sorry, I just saw your message now. I live in Portlaoise in Co. Laois. Both parents were/are from towns near here. Never thought I'd live here, but it's a lot cheaper than Dublin and it's handy for the rest of Ireland. I also tired…

Was Andreas a shortish man who smoked a pipe. You'd see him on the steps smoking it sometimes. I think he did creative work? Oh! I do long group hikes too. Four hours in the local mountains and sometimes longer during the summer in the mounta…

Not quite right KRS, but not far off. I do regret all the rants but I was right at the same time. Due to a lot of things going wrong and unresolved anger issues I carried on as I did. In the last few years in SGR, I started writing, meditating.…

When I returned to London from Berlin in 2010, I noticed how Stroud Green had changed. But it wasn't until Sainsbury corner shop by the Triangle, SGR and Lorne road, that the rot set in. Starbucks, and on and on. The platform at The Faltering Fall…

To think that the Rainbow was full of postive life as in Bowie, T rex, Ramones etc.
-
The golden age was ranting about Sugar Lounge who ended up not having a proper licence. Chang. Who was this man/woman/ fluid gender. I did predict SG would become a cultural desert full of middle class foodies. Tumbleweed. It's time to turn off …

This has to be the best post on here for a while. No hunting for lettuce. Grammar nobs, food snobs, gentrification, service charge. I think everyone should tip or give a service charge untless the service is very bad. Keep it real SG. T-shrits ver…

Long live the Piccolo Diavola.
-
And this isn't about me or my rants about gentrification. It's about people being careful out there. I'd love to hear no more stories of rape, muggings, attacks in park aor anywhere else. Sadly that won't happen everywhere but please keep away fr…

I don't think there's any need to blame the council for locking the gates. Should they put up higher walls ? Basic common sense. Don't walk in a park in darkeness. Jeez. It's up to you. I wouldn't jump from a boat into the ocean. I can swim, …
-
This is a terrible crime and shame on the attacker(s), but a few years ago a man was mugged after nightfall and I thought, I would never walk through the park late. This is not victim blaming. In a perfect world, everyone would be able to do what t…

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. B…

That's all folks..

That's all folks. Back to sober life

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

Buy the way or is that by the way, or btw, I know Tracy Emin is into commerce but the spectacle and art handn't been consumed in the 90s. Well craft and pottery is where it's at.

Come on AtomGallery. Rome. Ciao. Irony. Blow it up on the walls. Ciao Farmers Italian Market Cheap white wine at Gallery Opening. An idea for an installation. A tub in the centre of the gallery. Men with beards with jumpers over shirts jumpin…

The Old Dairy was a great pub its first decade or so. I lived around the corner and was at its opening night in 99. Seems like another century. Oh! It was. Great beer. I always found the staff friendly. People complained they weren't and only …
