  • ah yes....we are lucky at least in that :-)
  • might be simpler to train up a pigeon
  • at this rate, we'll all be travelling to Milton Keynes to collect our mail soon ...lol The really annoying thing is there is no "real" phone number to the sorting office (just a generic one that takes you on a virtual world trip for half an hour…
  • a good sparky is useful to know about. Maybe we can persuade him to hand out his put his contact details on here and we can use him as a self employed person and recommend him to our friends? I think also it would be great to set up a list of local …

  • well after a whole week, my phone is operational once more, but I know it will only be a matter of time before the phone or the internet goes down again. I think you are right Gardener Joe, i need to bite the bullet, set up a new email and transfer …
  • I have heard nothing from then for almost a week now. They promised me they would be in touch to tell me when the problem would be resolved...and nothing at all...my phone still not functioning properly. My problem is that i am locked into  my bluey…
  • For those that might be interested : Carols by Candellight at St Marks Church Tollington Park Finsbury Park Sunday 16th 6pm - 7pm. I go to this every year and it is a very very special event
  • just an update to let you all know my two parking penalties have been cancelled. surp[risingly as i expected to have to go to a second appeal. Interestingly my neighbour told me yesterday that he received his reminder on the actual date of expiry...…
  • I will there selling lovely tablelamps made from the fabric I produced and also bits of vintage jewellery. Come and say hello
  • I complained to the royal mail about this issue last week, although I was complaining more about letters I have sent that have not arrived, than the other way round. That scenario used to be really bad a couple of years back when I was constantly re…
  • ooh thank you ...that would be great. Shall i pick them up at some point ?
  • I use stevia as I am a diabetic,  and have been using it for years. Candarel however is definitely not stevia...it is aspartame.....highly poisonous subsatnce...don't know about the other ones however
  • How ridiculous is this ? I have just received a  postal reminder  from Haringey council for my residential parking permit renewal....dated 29th October (my permit expired on 13th!!!!) Well in the light of this, I think the result of my appeal is n…
  • I personally think Whipcar is a genius initiative www.whipcar.com It benefits everyone, as car owners rent to non car owners at a rate chosen by themselves, and the insurance is all covered by the umbrella organisation. who take a commission. Geniu…
  • i totally agree Papa L. Earlier this year many people around here were withour visitor permits for a few weeks when the council changed the permits. We all ran out of permits and were unable to get any. The council didn't respond at all to that. We …
  • That seems to me to be the sane approach too Roy. I doubt that anybody purposefully avoids paying for their permit.... certainly not me.  Hopefully things are about to change as this was announced this week. http://www.wired-gov.net/wg/wg-news-1…
  • thanks arkady - got it now well finally finished my epic novel "Appealing Parking in Finsbury Park" thanks for the feedback will let you know how i get on ;-)
  • I cant seem to access any earlier posts from this thread ...anyone know why ? I wanted to cut and paste a commment from Papa L for my appeal letter, which i am in process of writing
  • ..must be my snail computer.... @joe<br> I don't think anyone is complaining about the price of the permit itself. I am complaining because I did not receive a permit renewal reminder letter and was immediately slapped with a £60 fine the…
  • my posts no longer seem to appearing on here....not sure why ?
  • I agree. I would really love to give up my car but car hire needs to become a truly viable option  costwise for people for people  like me, who don't use their car every day, but do use it very regularly for work purposes. Also my cheap camping holi…
  • well..there's a growing part of me that is quite bemused really. Communicating on here has felt a bit like being back at grammar school at times...... btw i meant whip car not blabla....whip car is an amazing car hire initiative... www.whipcar.com …
  • parking definietley isn't free in Crouch End. I totally empathise with you Miss Annie. I cycle wherever i possibly can. Unfortunately i feel i have been forced into owning a car because I have looked at every car hire scheme and so far they have all…
  • I am sure Ms.Lumley would be horrified to be compared to me Chang. Not a white frock in sight...my cat is completely neurotic......i don't really like harp music...and I'm an insomniac.
  • The principle I wish to teach my son is to speak out for the things you believe to be right. Just because i have differing ideas to yours Arkady, about what is fair and what is unfair, and then decide to stand up for those principles, does not make …
  • I have been told to expect to queue for hours.....at the one stop shop, and have been too busy working to afford that time...so  am using my vouchers to park at the moment. The way that I see it is this is a basic service,and Haringey is the servi…
  • thank you so much fro ur kind offer Graeme. I do in fact have some passes, Thanks everybody for the discussion. It has clarified a lot for me to have this feedback. thank you Papa L. for  your succinct comment  which really hit the nail on the head…
  • when you are a self employed menopausal single mum you forget a lot of things...even to scratch reminder dates on ur calendar...sad but true. No idea what Mirandola's comment mean...nor the Heine quote. ...way too clever for my simple brain. Thank…
