Yeah, we had no water last night - but it seems to be back now.
-
Oh wow, as a Swede I hadn't even realised it was a rare bird here. Where I'm from it's easily one of the most common garden birds, there's hundreds of them every summer. My mother, when she still had her garden, hated them for being particularly des…

I thking it's the other half of the weird little building opposite Sainsbury's, the one that used to be a barber and then briefly half-barber half-Roti Joupa. Roti Joupa is staying (though never open when I want a Roti) but the barber is gone.

Honestly, I have an ambivalent attitude to Blighty - I actually like the food, it's one of the better breakfasts in the area, but the colonialist theme is unpleasant to say the least. I have sympathy for the protest to a certain extent, even if on t…

I've had no issues at all with Three. But it craps out completely in Hampstead, so if you're often over that way, possibly avoid.
-
Yeah, Monday according to the info we were given and the posters at the station. I bet there'll be more weekend closures though.
-
Seems like a very decent deal. Anyone tried them? What works and what doesn't?
-
And have another long closure for us long-suffering commuters? No thank you.
-
How distressing. But they'll keep the trains running, it seems?
-
Amazing historical material! Looking forward to what else you have, it's really fascinating to see the area develop.
-
We had a chat with one of the owners and it looks like it will be café as well. Let's hope the bread is good! I've really been missing a good bakery on SGR.

"The Police are absolutely not in the business of criminalising rough sleepers" *lists four ways to criminalise rough sleepers*
-
Yeah, I used to work in local newspapers and out of respect for the families we never covered individual people killed by suicide or overdose.
-
Last chance to go to Barking tomorrow!
-
It's lovely! Despite its awkward placing. I love the Jamaican elegance of it.
-
Yeah, that looks like the least bland of the options. The others feel like budget alternatives that will get lost in the background.
-
That's the site we've seen several architectural suggestions for before, right?
-
Definitely a freezer bag. No Lidl carrier bag I've ever seen has hard hadles like these.
-
That sounds amazing. Cairo has one of the coolest music scenes on the planet. (Sorry, can't think of anywhere closer than Archway or Highgate.)
-
I came late and seemed to have missed a lot of it, but I was struck by how little it reflected the diversity of the local community. Is that anything you've given thought to at all?
-
I think the way the public transport is set up - with two separate bus stations, one of which isn't even reachable by the tube any more, and three bus lines terminating in the same place - creates a a weird disjoint and delays lots of journeys. I re…
-
@Scruffy No, that's not it - Upper Holloway has a stop right outside! It's to do with the idea that there needs to be a bus service down to Finsbury Park (for some reason) which then continues northeast - and that's not doable through the SGR tunnel…
-
@Scruffy Oh darling, you have no idea! It's possibly the worst-designed replacement bus service I've ever used. The stop for Crouch Hill is, rather bizarrely, a seven-minute walk away up by the shops in Hornsey Rise, and the Gospel Oak stop is anoth…
-
Good intitative! I'll see what I can add.
-
Are there any plans/drawings attached?
-
@grenners It truly and honestly is. Roti Joupa is not Jamaican food like the other places, but Trinidadian, with all the Indian influences that entails - and the stews and fillings (both vegetable and meat-based) are amazing. Pity about the location…
-
Lulu's is nice - it's more upscale (or rather midscale, in the sort of £15-for-a-main-course range) and offers more of a white-table-cloth dining experience, but with genuine, high-quality caribbean food that's not been watered down. I've been three…
-
PS. Looking at the web site of the new place there's an awful lot of talk about "15 hour slow cooked smoked jerk brisket" and the like. I'd not be surprised if it was still the Oven & Hearth folks continuing their experiment.
-
I can recommend the somewhat new Roti Joupa in the awkward little shack next to the minicab office opposite the car wash, if we're talking caribbean places. Still, interesting to see this attempt. I wonder if they can compete with the quality of L…

You have to laugh at the "suspected drug use!!!" image of two people inhaling nitrous oxide, which apparently 50% of all britons have tried at some point and which is considered among the most harmless drugs that exist.
