Oh glad it’s not just me. Thanks for the update
-
I was wondering if anyone has had any correspondence/conversations with Thames Water about the covered reservoir and creating a meadow out of the space? I talked about it with the Lib Dems when they've been round canvassing recently. They though…

That's interesting about the local list. It makes sense though. I wasn't really aware of the local list. I noticed my old house is on it. I had no idea.

Archway bridge is listed I don’t think any others are.
-
My dog walker who spoke to someone working on it.

I work in the NHS and increasingly as practitioners we are recorded by patients. The trust I work in has a policy that it’s ok to be recorded although patients should say they are doing it and recordings shouldn’t be shared widely. They are share…

I put in bespoke cupboards either side of a chimney breast and indeed mould became a serious problem. It was made worse because they were on an exterior wall which had damp caused by some leaky gutters. The whole lot had to come out. I think you …

Glebe nursery on Forty Hill is very cheap and good quality. The Clock House nursery next door has a wider range and more of a traditional garden centre and is also reasonable.
-
Yes I have one, I used for that purpose. No longer need it. You’re welcome to it.
-
I’ve felt the lack of a wine shop as well. Oddbins is fine and Marks and Spencer’s does ok. I’ve thought the place that is/was The Concept would be a great spot for such a shop.

I’d be interested in keeping your non edible tree and trying to keep it alive in my garden till next Christmas . I keep meaning to rather than destroying a tree each year.

Just wondering what these effective therapies are. Has someone found a cure for schizophrenia or being bipolar? They're often enduring long term illnesses, with episodes where hopefully there's improvement. Everyone will have their own way of …
-
The trouble is the therapies that are out there, antidepressants, antipsychotics, tricyclic depressants etc, aren't effective in a lot of people. Talking therapies have long waiting lists, aren't always offered to people who have psychosis. The …

Do they do a tumeric latte with coconut milk?
-
Look for where the droppings are to see where the main run is. I don't think there's any magic bait. I used cheese and peanut butter and chocolate spread. Cheese worked less well. I know they are very attracted to peas. I thought I would tr…

It's all about the placement of the traps. I don't use poison anymore. It's a horrid death by internal bleeding, not very quick and you never really know if you've got them. Place the trap along where they run, normally right next to the skir…

The large Sainsburys on Green Lanes might do it. There's quite a lot of fake cheese in Londis as well on Ferme Park Road. The organic grocers mentioned above, near Mind is quite vegan friendly. They have vegan chocolate, muffins and proba…
-
Is there a green grocers opening there? I thought I could see a kind of vintage/ironic/authentic, green grocer look in the new shop being fitted out.
-
I went to Traiteur this afternoon for coffee and cake. I thought it a great little place. They are really friendly and they're obviously really passionate about good quality food. It's also very cheap. It all makes quite a change. I'm not …

I replaced a single door with double doors in my kitchen a while ago, and I did my own drawings. It's better if you trace one from a previous application for a house on your street. There are masses of them on there going back decades so you're…

Yes I've seen some posters as well. On the Parkland Walk I think.

Another approach is to complain about the noise to the Council. I received a complaint years ago about my dogs barking, not when I left them alone, but when a family of foxes moved into next door's garden, which were regularly fed by the neighbour…

They are sort of 'everywhere', but I like to go a bit out of the way to forage. Sticky grass (Cleavers) often grows with nettles so its easy just to rake it all up. It's not delicious, wouldn't want to much of it, but very good for you. It's b…

It's a good time to pick, they get too coarse later. If you get into it, it's good to find a little patch which you can use as a cut and come again crop, so you always have tender leaves. I picked a lot last year. Although I really like the t…

The allowances are quite generous though. You can earn £7,500 a year as part of the rent a room scheme before you have to pay tax. You could put some expenses against income, if you start to get up to the limit such as laundry, cleaning, insuran…

I looked at the proposals, I imagine they'll keep coming back with amendments until it's agreed, using wheelbarrows to cart away soil if necessary. Not sure there's is a bat colony in those tunnels though. The last audit said there were four bats…

God knows, I'm sure most of us have found bits of Stroud Green Road depressing at times and couldn't quite put our finger on why.
-
Yes, I would have preferred a branch of Moxons. We'll have to wait a bit longer. I actually quite like that bit. It's very friendly there, by the bus stop, lots of people know each other. Although, I have seen some sights standing there, w…

I've also got a sensitivity to noise, and I've had to move as a result. I lived on Oakfield road for a year and the worst thing about it was the traffic noise, especially in summer, if I had the windows open. The traffic goes quite fast and it's…
