I was refering to the fact that the cars were taken outside their owners house, as they had been able to park outside their own house which apparently makes you cheer when you see it.
Suprisingly enough the first thing the PC who I reported the theft to phoned up Haringey to check this, so no. The second vehicle was stolen from outside the owners house in the CPZ, the third was a resident on Mountview (who parked outside his own …
Having spoken to our local PCO and the PC from the neighbouring ward where prats with 5 cars tend to leave them it appears they are on the case and have been proactively contacting owners of similar vehicles, and stopping tow trucks which look suspi…
Coming back to the original theme of the thread before it was so kindly thread jacked,there have since been two further thefts one a landscape gardeners truck parked in Mountview Road in August and the other another camper stolen from Upper Tollingt…
@tosscat - nope I 've got a car - paid tax ,insurance and fuel .Might as well use it. Also minicabs don't usually carry child seats around with them do they? I need two .Otherwise I would probably consider it. Not sure if I understand the class refe…
No that was Papa L. I have the choice of Light Blue or Dark Blue tube lines. I hate going to Sainsburys in the car - that retail park is a nightmare to get into and out of. In truth my other half goes (and shes on here all the time so I had better w…
@ Ali and another thing - Are you seriously suggesting that a family with two kids can survive without a car? What do you expect me to do get the bus to Sainsburys and carry all of the shopping back as well as managing a double buggy. might be an op…
It was a month and a day today - really looking forward to Wray Cresc though.@ Ali I can see that less parked cars means better visibility but how does is mean less cars whizzing about? Surely theres more whizzing through the area because they can't…
Untaxed vehicles are not the reponsibility of the traffic warden. They are identified by the vans drving round with ANPR cameras driven by the DETR's sub contractors. These cheerful fellows have a van full of wheel clamps which they attach to anythi…

If it bothers you that much you can check the status of the vehicles by visiting the MID website http://www.askmid.com/ownvehicle/ This is for owners to check their whether their own insurance has shown up on the database but if you are prepared to …
Due to the newspaper article I now know that another one went as per below:
Reg Number G483 SAU
Putting this on for the owner Carolyn - this was taken at almost the same time as mine , which leads me to think there is a gang involved. The van w…
Following the article in the Hornsey Journal I got a couple of follow up emails. It turns out another camper van was stolen on the 17th from Albert Road - around half a mile away. Either a big coincidence or its organised. If you own a camper I sugg…
@Beek - You seem to have changed your tune about North Islington ? Is this based upon the experience of your children being there or reading the OFSTED report? Glad you like Margaret Macmillan. Would be really interested to know if the 2nd nursery y…
@ Katiejane - Demonising children ? I think thats best left to the people who drink in the Noble isnt it - where demon children pop Helium balloons out of spite - see other thread.
@ tosscat - instead of your incredibly witty one line and one wor…
@David - sorry I missed the sign on the door of the Noble that said "no children and no touching the helium balloons". There was one saying "we have no sense of humour in here but apparently Simon Pegg and his dog regularly come in"
We went to the Noble at 5 tonight with 2 two year olds and a 3 month old (and 4 adults). The Dairy was closed and didnt fancy the Larrik. After an initial welcome, our two year olds foolishly began collecting the helium balloons that had been put i…
@ HSB if you have never seen anyone speeding on either Corbyn or Thorpedal then either you dont know what a car travelling at 30 mph looks like or you havent stood there long enough. It is safe to say that at least 50% of vehicles, if not more excee…
Unfortunately as there are so many knob heads driving up Thorpedale / Corbyn since the re-surfacing work has made it into a race track, I have to say that any form of traffic calming is welcomed. There is a black 57 plate Audi TT who seems to revel …
Hi Busby,
I think I speak for most people on here in saying that your posts are some of the most readable and informative threads on the board. The nature of this type of board is that anyone can make a comment whether it is relevant or not and som…
Back to the orginal subject bread from Woody's. I was lucky enough to buy a loaf of Hovis last week , which had the sell by date of 6th June. All good so far - I have been caught out there before. When I got home I noticed that the bag had been gna…
I had my 40th birthday in there on Sunday afternoon, trying to compete with Chelsea - Man City, England - France and Tottenham - Villa on the tv's, as well as having around 20 toddlers running around the place but it all worked really well. The serv…
