Left Unity - Crouch End & Haringey Groups
One word, Australia. Much less of a gap between the richest and poorest. A generally much happier population and surprisingly enough much less affected by the recession than it's first world counterparts.

Are you too scared to cycle in London?
Saw a guy on a Penny Farthing going up Farringdon Street the other day, god know what he does at traffic lights...

Red Rita's , N4 pub, Fonthill , Duke of Edinburgh pub - new theme
I've never really understood that venue. The most uninviting 'this is a local bar for local people' pub I have ventured in to in London. It's a great location for an intimate bar/restaurant to serve the local residents and pull …

What SGR really needs...
Okay, in answer to the OP... What SGR needs: A nice cafe where I can get some good quality, healthy vegan grub. A coffee shop that offers dairy free milk alternatives. While we are at it what would you like to see gone. The detritus (not …

@detritus As long as you weren't wearing chinos and deck shoes at the same time I'm sure you'll recover in time.

Just how pretentious does one have to be to think artisan bakery? Yes, we need more of them! An artisan bakery is just a proper old-fashioned bakery, all the artisan word does is allow them to triple the price of everything so that only the jumpers…

@ldnflyer I'll bite. Judgemental and lacking community spirit to me describes someone who wants to close all the businesses that people like and use and replace them with those which the local community cannot afford, all for his own gratifica…

Gah, I'm always away when the bike jumble is on, probably for the best mind, I really have no more room for bike bits... ;(

Maybe a Waitrose branded Vietnamese deli with a note on the door barring all hipsters?

Don't tell me, it's becoming an effing deli!

Would love to see a waitrose at SGR!
We could do without the SGR Tesco? I rarely go in there but when I do there are always a number of people shopping there, seems quite popular despite the views of some of us!

Would rather see a Whole Foods before Waitrose...

Are you too scared to cycle in London?
I just started cycling to work again this week, I forgot how much better it is than taking the tube! Arriving at work and home again having had a bit of a workout and having not spent the previous 40 minutes getting really annoyed with people! Love…

Borough-Wide 20mph Speed Limit in Haringey
I can't help but think that satellite navigation has a lot to answer for. I struggle to see where most of the UTP/TP traffic is coming from or going to. I imagine most of it should be going around the park and on to Seven Sisters Road. Not…

R&J, very true, Beth was great and it's not as good now as it was then but it's still my favourite around.

Estate Agents
Davies and Davies are the agents for our current flat and they are very good, I will go so far as to say the best we have used so far. Liberty (Station Place) were okay but only because the Landlord was always around pushing them, Ariston (Hornsey …

The Piccadilly Line: Twixt Manor House & Turnpike Lane
Thanks for the link, That's the first 30 minutes of work passed in pleasant fashion! The Crossrail 2 plans do sound rather good. A lot better than HS 2 or 3 from I can see.

New "Organic Place" on Hornsey Road
Where is this place in relation to the Tesco? Is it just fruit and veg or other healthy stuffs too? I may take a wander over at the weekend...

Blog on Parkland Walk
Oh I see, make it easier for cyclists to ride fast, keep the pedestrians on their toes a bit more! I cycled the full length a few times last year, can't remember the surface causing any issues along the way?

The Stapleton Tavern
Was in The Staps for the quiz on Thursday and had the usual friendly, attentive service from the staff. Just saying.

Harris and Hoole is cool(e)!
@Papa L If what you say is true (and I have no reason to believe otherwise) then surely the answer is simple. Increase the minimum wage at the same time as scrapping tax credits. Over time the increased costs for employers will be met by the pe…

Haringey Cuts
The whole system needs a complete overhaul. 'Council houses' and housing benefit should be temporary measures to help those in need until such a time as they get themselves back on their feet. When I hear stories of people being given a co…
