  • Yes indeed. It has always (in the years my son has been there) felt like a good school and good to see Ofsted catching up with reality, and excellent results. Worth noting the fulsome praise the report gives to Haringey for all the support they hav…
  • I think this is a really good idea. This is kind of the point of the Olympics, isn't it? A celebration of the cultures of all the countries of the world, and we get Jamaica, which is pretty cool. Hopefully, Usain Bolt will show up with his medals. M…

  • OK, so the railway line makes a neat boundary, but the rest of this is complete nonsense. As a resident of Stroud Green, I want it noted that I have no problem whatsoever with moving into Tottenham constituency, largely because I am not a snob!
  • Ah, didn't read that you'd done it already! Sorry. Still, the offer is there.
  • I can lend you, and anyone else who wants one, an electric hedge trimmer. I think I sent you a message, but not quite sure how it works.
  • I find the objection to this a bit puzzling, apart from on narrow party-political grounds (which surely the Liberal democrats wouldn't stoop to). If you want to equalise the constituencies (and I think 10% variance would have made sense myself), you…
  • Our boy goes to Stroud Green, and despite its recent Ofsted ("satisfactory" again), I can't be complimentary enough about it. Really nice friendly atmosphere and he's learnt loads. Ask any teacher you know about the value of Ofsted inspections. I th…

  • Sounds amazing. Won't be there this Friday, but sounds right up my alley. Good luck!
  • Had a take-away Friday night, and it was excellent. Had "foul madamas", which is a mashed up bean dish along with my lamb shwarma (a kebab in a wrap). Proper charcoal grill. The chap seems very nice, and proudly showed me the shisha smoking area,…
  • Good point. The sun seems to have been out every time I have walked by.
  • It's not amazing or anything, but I like the roof, and the colours of the render is nice, imo. Obviously (and it IS so obvious), it's not finished! So all the complaints about it looking dirty already etc. are a bit premature. Generally, I think …
  • Hi. I have a couple of pallets, a broken picnic table, some old skirting board and an estate-agents sign post that I would love to get rid of. Let me know if that would help. (I have lurked here for a while, but this is first post - do you have a…
