  • Hello Still loving the shop. One big thing though - every time we've bought English apples from you, they've been bad e.g. fluffy, bruised etc. I know now's not really the time to complain as they're  not in season, but it would be great to have so…
  • A bakery definitely. Have a look at this one to see what can be done http://thehandmadebakery.coop/
  • Hello! I haven't been on the sure for a while so haven't ben around to say Well Done! What a lovely greengrocers. I've been so happy coming in and finding such lovely things every week. And great to find you on here taking requests. I've had some…

  • Sounds good to me!
  • Hello Bridget, I whispeered for your cleaner's details - did you get it? (Not sure if I did it right!) Gardener Joe, your cleaner's details would be great too Thanks Jo
  • Have you got mine now? Let me know if not

  • Hello - I didn't get one either

  • I have to agree with Joe - I'm not a big fan of Petek. By all accounts the meat is good, and it's really friendly, but I find the veggie things are not as good as in many other places nearby. The most standard things are not as nice, with a limi…

  • The St John in Farringdon - private room, and you order one or two dishes for each course for the whole table. Very nice indeed if you are a meat eater.
  • There is no excuse for poor design - and that two coloured render is absolutely abysmal. Were the planning drawings in black and white?
  • Given the huge success of new Mexican burrito places in London, serving really good burritos, with proper fresh salsa etc, and making them with exactly what you want in them, I'm not sure whether now is the time to be starting up another 'smothered …
  • We went a couple of weeks ago, and were a bit disappointed. I really wanted to love the place, as it had a good atmosphere, interesting menu and nice pictures. However, the food mostly didn't really live up to our expectations, or the prices. Tw…
  • Anybody know whether FP station is open again now? I wussed out on being one of the hundreds of wobbly cyclists heading for Victoria, so am working at home, but everyone else is at work, and I'm wondering whether to have a go...
  • There may be a lot less stuff to do near Handmade Bakery, but it's certainly not rural - most people in the area do big supermarket shops from one of the several big supermarkets within a 15 minute drive - it's one of the things that has brought peo…
  • The bakery linked above is my mother's local bakery - sold via the relatively recently started community shop. And the bread is absolutely wonderful. I don't think she subscribes, but does often order bread to pick up the day after (as otherwise it'…
  • 5 a side pitches doesn't sound bad - as long as there are other places for the existing activities to go. Not sure about floodlights.. But 80 more parking spaces for cars and bikes? That's really nuts. That side of the park is too full of cars as…
  • Hello. On a recommendation from sg.org earlier in the year, I had lessons from Diamond Driving school in Blackstock Road, who were very friendly and about 22 quid a lesson Jo
  • Hi - is there a way to comment if we can't make it on Tuesday? Can you tell us who Spiritbond are (no website..) Thanks
  • I agree, the John Lewis website is very useful for helping you work out what type and how to measure. Given that you're on a budget, remember to think about how much you'll save on heating if you get curtains that fit the window (e.g. if you get…
  • I like it - I had an idea like that a while ago where you would have a dedicated screen, for example inside a shop window facing outwards, and people could text it (moderated!) with things going on in the area. This was before the days of twitter et…
  • Pak Supermarket sells urad dal and most spices - not sure about asafoetida though. Drummond St is great, and there's also a shop near the end of Drummond St on Hampstead Road that you could try. Tesco is getting better and better - check the…
  • Mezbaan has esecially good daal, and aubergine and potato curry - you'd have to check with them which have ghee in them Dotori were fine with me when I wanted something veggie - they told me which things they could make veggie, and I had a tofu a…
  • The Mezbaan. Best things being the dal, chickpeas, aubergine and potato, potato balls, pakora and freshly cooked naan. And meat eaters seem to like the tandoori chicken too. If you get the mixed veg curry then note that they do a very hot one and a …
  • I'm definitely interested! My mother, although quite young at the time, very clearly remembers the end of chocolate rationing and the large bag of Smarties that followed. Then will spend ages telling you that the different colors were different f…
  • We live there, and like it a lot - the road's pretty quiet and the other people we've met are nice. On the Parkland Walk side some people with big conservatories on the ground floor have had problems with stone throwing kids, but that's all I've hea…

  • We're on Virgin, supposed to get 10MB, never get anything like that. Getting through to their customer service is a nightmare, especially from a mobile, as we're broadband only. Can't even watch programmes on low res iplayer without them stopping. A…
  • I don't understand why turning down the planning appliation was welcomed, on the grounds that the Triagle's greenery improves the look of the area - surely it would be better to let it go ahead, but stipulate in the planning consent that they must h…
  • The first person swore at me in text speak The nest was a chinese student who wants to be a politician, and answered my questions about Chinese politics for quite a while before getting scared and changing the subject Very interesting
