Hi Roy, The train is usually a lot quieter than the tube, so I often get it for that reason. However, when there is a strike on it can get pretty packed. The strike is only a few lines though so the Victoria line should be working ok. Last time t…

@miss annie I'm giving away Bill Bryson's Notes from a Small Island. it would be great to come along - what time does it start? Thank you
-
Thank you, gardener-joe, that's a good idea I'll ask them if they are opening late for it miss annie - that sounds great as well. I work in Islington so sounds ideal - I can advertise at work if you like to get some non or light readers along? Thank…

If you can't get to a shop then most medium to large charities will pick up from offices or your work. You can get a container in reception and the staff can donate their goods to be picked up at a later date. One of the problems with leaving stuf…

Sorry Charlo, I became confused about whether the book club was happening or not, or if it was at 7.30 or 8 so didn't go in the end. I would've if I'd realised it was still on! Sorry you had to wait in the Dairy on your own.
-
Hi everyone, is this still happening or being resheduled? Thanks
-
I can still come along, but if you need to reschedule that is fine also!

Yes, he's on SGR - a door next to Tesco's. I found him to be very good also and his receptionist / dental assistant (she seems to do lots of jobs in the place!) is also really lovely and polite.

Hey all, I'll try and come along to this. I realise I have said this before, many times, but I mean it this time (new year and all that!) I'm a female. Sorry!
-
Thanks everyone, I'll give some of those a try. I think Specsavers must be on commission. Never been to Holloway Rd (luckily by the sounds of it!) but I had a similar wrong prescription at Tottenham Court Road branch. They wouldn't believe me abo…

I was just about to start a thread about recommendations for opticians but did the search first and found this :-) Do Style do contact lenses via the post? I currently get those ones from Specsavers which saves me going in all the time. I had …

This made me laugh a lot Detritus! Crying because of a normal league game is hilarious!

I don't have any proof of if it works but another tip that I like to do is have my keys in my hand. The idea is that the potential attacker thinks you are nearby to your house and then might not bother. I'm not sure if this would work in reality…

When I get the 19 or 4 it always seems to terminate at Highbury Barn (rather than Highbury Corner). A bit nearer, but still far from ideal! If they could just decide a bit earlier and put the final destination on the bus then that would be a bi…

Yep, I can confirm that this was purely a stroudgreen.org fueled rumour! The council have said there is no truth in it
-
I'm really not sure. The councilor I emailed said he hadn't heard of it, but was going to check it out and get back to me. I've never seen any inspectors on the parkland walk so perhaps it is a SG.org rumour!
-
I emailed one of the Lib Dems on the council about another matter and mentioned the ridiculous council blackberry police from the post above while I was busy ranting. They hadn't heard anything about it, but are going to check with the Parks Departm…

If you get no luck with the council the Gambling Commission are worth a try: http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/

After some research I have discovered that Beirut City charge over £8 for a very small kebab! Therefore I conclude they won't be open very long at those prices. I'm pretty confident that they won't have approval for the smoking den too. The …

This sounds great. I'll come along for my first book club :-)
-
I can't make the 23rd, but will try and be at your next one :)
-
I hope that having lighting on the Mount Pleasant Villas railway bridge might stop whoever it is that has the mega-pooing dog leaving it everywhere. It probably won't, but I can hope
-
Ooops I meant each month! We do the same, but there has been a bit of controversy lately about taking votes from long books! Hopefully I'll be able to make your next meeting :)

Hi there, I'm from the OTHER BOOK CLUB! We are the Islington book group and use the Dairy sometimes. You were welcome to use the same room though :) Anyway, it's a good thing you popped in or I wouldn't know about the stroud green book club! H…
