  • I used Butlers very recently and they were fantastic - not at all phased by the fact I had a mountain of stuff and was on the top floor.  They were also happy to re-assemble my Ikea Expedit unit for me at the other end.  Couldn't recommend them more.
  • yes a couple of doors down from Osborne road, must be about number 7
  • I think the fire was just in the front garden.  I'm not sure anyone is living in that house at the moment, it's had scaffolding up and no roof for a while.  The firemen have put out the flames and are now clearing the pile of stuff from the front ga…
  • I can recommend Boots/D&A in Muswell Hill too. I have monthly soft lenses and although my prescription is fairly straightforward, I have quite complicated eye problems (acute angle closure glaucoma) which means I've had an operation to replace…
  • No probs Misscara, I'll ask her - if so do you want me to give her your mobile no?  If not, pm me your emaill address and I'll pass that on instead.
  • Thanks for the idea Miss Annie, someone on Freecycle wants them for their class at school, so I'm very glad I didn't throw them out.
  • I might try that next if no-one here wants them, thanks Miss Annie, that's a good idea.
  • 105 SGR, but I wouldn't recommend using them now.   I won't go back there after my last dreadful experience.  Such a shame Dr Shah retired, he was fantastic.

  • £158 for two people in a local restaurant is quite a lot - but I suppose if you have a job that enables you to take your friend out to dinner on expenses, then you might as well go for it on the wine front! 
  • Mmm, excited at the thought of getting some nice goodies.  (and Chang I shall ignore your stupid 'coloured' comment since you've probably only said it to start another pointless debate)
  • I've had a nice breakfast in Ole Pera - very nice poached eggs. I've only eaten in Front Room once - found it quite pricey and pretty average. Molens Cafe is quite good too, and the staff are lovely.   I know a lot of people used to say Sunshine was…
  • @Idoru - you should definitely get in touch with these people if you're planning on setting up a knitting group - they have regular craft events in Walthamstow - http://www.craftguerrilla.com/
  • Delighted to hear about the licencing application - that's the main reason that I haven't been so far.  A milkshake is lovely with lunch, but if I go out for a meal in the evening I'd like a glass of wine with it.
  • Andy mentioned chipping in for a new bike. I'm no expert on bikes and have no idea if the quality would be any good but you can get a folding bike delivered from Asda direct for £180 - are there 18 people on here willing to chip in a tenner?   I don…
  • Ha ha, I think the monsoon skirts were mine - I dropped a big bag of stuff there on Saturday morning!

  • Best bet is Cass Art,(Islington or Soho) or Cowling and Wilcox in Soho.  If you just want acrylic paint though, it's worth finding a branch of The Works as they sell acrylic paint and gesso at a ridiculously cheap price.

  • Might be Sally.   I got woken up by a similar noise when she was sleeping in a doorway opposite.  Chang - you said she was back on Lorne Road again, so could have been her.
  • Good luck with the move - give me a shout if you need a hand with anything
  • the cricket club in Crouch End is quite nice - we've had a few family parties there.
  • I haven't been in for ages, and the main reason we stopped going was because of the service. Also, I often drink Guinness and one of the bar staff would bash the glass on the bar a few times before topping it up and handing the pint over - not sure …
  • I'm pretty sure you can get a two week permit for instances such as this.  It may have changed since I moved to Stroud Green, but I was able to go the parking services department and be issued with one just with proof of my address as I was still wa…
  • I think people spitting on the ground is just as offensive.  I came out the tube station tonight and the guy right next to me just gobbed all over the pavement - absolutely gross.
  • I suspected she was sleeping rough through choice - the amount of people that went to speak to her yesterday would indicate that everyone is concerned and wants to help.  There is an awful lot of help available in this area (thankfully) for the home…
  • I suspect that for whatever reason, Sally doesn't want to go to any of the shelters as I'm sure she's been offered help already.  She seems to have wandered off from Victoria Road today, but if she appears back later I will certainly go and speak to…
  • Sally's spent the last two nights sleeping in a doorway in Victoria Road.  I've taken her some hot food, as have quite a few of the neighbours, but it seems that last night she's started to damage the property.  She's pulled some trellis down and ha…
  • Well done Miss Annie for doing such a great job.  My little niece goes to Brownies (I assume your group) and absolutely loves it, she's immensely proud of her badges, it's very sweet and I think it's great that there's something like Brownies availa…
  • Hello girls - sorry I'm still here but I haven't seen you for ages as I'm a hermit and don't like to venture out in the evenings!  Are you still meeting on Thursdays?   If so I promise to come and join you for a Christmas drink. If anyone wants any …
  • oh that's fantastic news!
  • I've always had a good response from their head office, but wouldn't waste my time trying to complain to the staff in store.  I've also complained directly to Terry Leahy and received £100 worth of vouchers (that was when I slipped on my arse due to…
