Good luck arkady if all else fails we still have o' reilly's furniture emporium for excellent curved glass action
-
A furniture place, called The Concept according to the signs on the windows which criminally have now had the original curved glass removed and replaced with double glazed straight glass thereby at a stroke removing one of the most interesting featu…

Looks like only half the pub is up for grabs, so the NN will live on in reduced circumstances.. Maybe Season could open an upper stroud green branch
-
Stuck up! Haven't heard that for a while. I have nothing against the Andover estate or the local pubs (flattered you should take the trouble to trawl previous comments) I take your point about repeating smears though so it was right to challenge it.…

Thanks Chang - a suitably unexpected reply, i'll check her out
-
I may be able to help, message me if you're still looking

The middle aged geordie guy behind the bar is pretty unfriendly, gives Norman Balon a run for his money (although what's eccentric and characterful in a busy soho pub is just a drag in an empty stroud green one)

"once peacefull stroud green rd" !

RedSurgeon I am in your debt for removing a small irritant from my life (although the OED gives it as by-law, with no alternatives)
-
Back to misspelling, it always bugs me that the sign at the entrance to Finsbury Park (Tollington Rd end) refers to byelaws. I've twice been overcharged at the Noble, unfortunately

I find about 70% of things get recycled which makes it all the more hilarious that the recycling bin is approx 30% the size of the black wheelie bin. If that makes sense

It was closed down for health and safety reasons apparently. The sewage system needs to be replaced but the landlord (who lives in Greece) refused to pay for it to be done. No other shop or restaurant can move into the premises until the work is done

"Influential DJ and presenter Andy Kershaw, describes Topic as being simply “the most important record label in Britain”. I wonder if Pak's are aware of the company they are keeping.
-
Thanks Ali - I always assumed it was a closed down high fidelity style record store. 70 years old it says on its website and still going strong, sort of. I might buy "The Second Album", described as "Dave Swarbrick’s increased contribution on this 1…

I met a girl at the prospect of whitby, now she's my wife. ah those were the days. Got lost on the wrong side of hornsey lane and found myself at a pub called the landseer the other night, well worth the stagger
-
often wondered how we can be so close to green lanes and be a kebab desert
-
since i moved to the area not that long ago, sgr has seen the addition of: an excellent pub in the form of a refurbed and family friendly stapleton, a green grocer, a flash (though controversial) french coffee shop, a not so flash but better amsshte…

so the mounts have it... Arkady: granted

i believe it is a catholic church. the nearest c of e one i think is on granville road, then there's the baptist one on stapleton hall and a methodist one in holly park estate. And st mellitus (rc). that's all i've spotted, but not bad going. more c…

ah great. Thanks Cristo. Ditto the above re collection arrangements (although I am not sure how whisper mode works)
-
I'd be interested in the chinese screen scuffs and all if it's still going..
-
The Italian place next door that used to be Monti something or other is not bad. And unusually for Italian places it is actually run by an Italian family. Extra large bowl of well cooked pasta and decent source for a fiver

John Jones v Islington council going all the way to the high court - but not until May 2012. I still can't believe that the council thinks this is a worthwhile use of its time: a local business wants to regenerate an area, create jobs and encourage …

Posted under Traders Assoc for Stroud Green Road, no idea how to link to it. Looks like Paks are also renovating another shop front towards the station. Pink shutters
-
Is it my imagination or has the building above K1 been given a new day glo paint job? I had to shield my eyes when I walked past it yesterday afternoon, but it might have just been the light. It's an underrated landmark imo - I aways use it to give …

Perhaps someone should mention it to the estate agents marketing the luxury modern mews houses on MPV which back onto the line. I am sure they will add it to the brochure
-
Permits used to be issued as a courtesy to drivers so people could park near their homes. They cost about a fiver and the money was used to cover administration costs. Now they are just another income stream - hence the increases and the swooping wa…

Mega cafe?

I like your thinking... mind you poor old haringey have a pretty torrid couple of years in the press
-
I am not a councillor but i am writing a story for a newspaper about sky high parking permits. It would be good to talk with someone affected by them, maybe you could get in touch? Just joined stroud green btw and your post inspired me to look into …
