  • made 2 measure is on the broadway near the clocktower at Crouch End.I walked past it four times before I noticed it, so inoccuous is it's frontage!
  • I just had my whole house done by M2M at crouch end. They'e not exactly cheap but the quality is excellent. They also fit curtains and blinds and have a load of fabric options.I am really pleased with what they have done.Very very friendly service.6…
  • OMG please! I am always lounging about with my boyfriend in the Dairy and the Stapleton. If I want to kiss him I will but we're not really like that, gay venues or not.SG is as safe as anywhere else in central London for that sort of thing.I have ha…

  • I went into the Old Dairy on Wednesday night to ask if i could reserve an area for my birthday and the staff failed to acknowledge me in 5 minutes. Not even a glance to say "i've seen you, and I am coming your way soon". So I thought - fuck you , I'…
  • WHAT. I didn't know that. Cunts.
  • The last two times I have been in there, the 2for1 and other offers that have been advertised on shelf and on pack have not rung into the till and I was overcharged. I only noticed when I looked at my receipt. £3 and £4 here and there really adds up…
  • I just wanted to describe the boys as best I could to illustrate my story, using as few words as possible. Using their skin colour wad the easiest way to do that. Maybe in future I could say 'young men with afro hair', or 'young men with a gene pool…
  • I really can't understand why some people can be so god damn inconsiderate! I have had this problem myself in the past, and the solution was accidental. One night I actually lost my mind as this music pumped through my floorboards and shook my bead…
  • Label looking good! Pleasure to help.I have finished a whole bottle in a month and it is such good olive oil!You can eat it on it's own, it's that good. Good luck!
  • when you think about it, Finsbury park stations (Underground,overground,bus) are a NIGHTMARE until you get used to it ie after about four years of living in the area. I did it AGAIN and went up the National Rail staircase the other day, on autopilot…
  • Krappy, I have not forgotten our conversation!I have been very busy the last few months, but the idea has been in the back of my mind.I have begun a rough sketch of what I had in mind for your label - will email it to you today.
  • getting back on topic. I've called in twice now to get a coffee on the way to work at around 8.15 and the place is DEAD. The first time I was the only person in there and the second time I was one of three.It still smells like new paint and upholste…

  • Donna - how did you find this out? I'd love to find out about my place. fascinating!
  • Costa's pastries are utterly vile. Whilst their coffee is better than Starbucks and Nero - it's not a patch on Vagabond! You won't see me going in there. Support your local coffee shops, people!

  • I have been getting Soya milk coffees from Costa for ages - you just have to ask for it. Not sure what brand they use though.

  • He also charged me 25p for a banana. Next time I'll go to Sainsbury's and get one for 18p
  • Just what we needed. Another coffee shop.

  • ...especially if it were to 'pop in' to visit me at my house. Cat pie for tea, anyone?
  • Having a cat in a built up area and wondering why it goes missing (ie gets eaten by foxes, falls down a drain, gets run over, tortured by local nutters)? Madness. I barely feel safe myself when I'm out on the streets. A little cat has no chance!
  • Petek was open last night - I went there in the end. Busy as well. Love the food in there.
  • But we'll all have the Sainsbury's near Wells Terrace  to look forward to soon!
  • Is it open on Mondays?
  • The reason Morrisons is cheaper is because there genuinely are less people involved in the chain between killing a pig and getting it onto a shelf for you to buy. They still get their profit. They are also the only supermarket to employ fully traine…
  • I have worked with one particular supermarket (designing their packaging), as well as with some of their suppliers and they have an excellent relationship with a lot of them. Infact this particular supermarket is involved with the very farmers who r…
  • Krappyrubsnif I sent you a direct message yesterday, I'd be interested to hear what you think of my proposal regards Barnesbq
  • @ActionVerb I ordered them three days in advance, but I'd ask in case they can do a quicker turnaround should you require.

  • I bought some whole cakes from Vagabond for my birthday today. A carrot loaf and an apple loaf. I cut them up to share with colleagues this afternoon to 'ooo's and 'aaah's from all around and we were not disappointed - they are the best darn cakes I…
