News reports are saying that two people have been charged. Adrian Carpenter and Jermaine Reid, ages in 20s , address given as Victoria Road.

There are much more accurate bomb maps at the library (also the London Topographical Society's bomb atlas shows details as compiled by the LCC - but does not include Hornsey). There was a big stick of bombs along Stroud Green Road in 1940-41 which …

Homeless is a bit of a misnomer according to the police - this scrounging is a lifestyle choice - notwithstanding the dog is an issue with hostel accommodation. The community spirit wears a bit thin when you find people have been crapping in your fr…

I thought the guitar might have been lost in the conflagration. Every cloud and all that.

I was (nearly) mugged some time ago under the bridges on SGR - by two white youths wo had followed me all the way up Blackstock Road. I did everything wrong: I hung on to my bag (which although it might look like a laptop was actually large arty lib…

How did we get on to wind farms? They do (or can) look lovely but try sleeping near to one and you'll find out what the objection is. Back to the thread - I imagine if I decided to set up camp on the footway with my pooch I would whisked off und…

You can overhaul the windows - add draught proofing strips and clean most of the build up of paint off them to improve matters. If you can get the old shutters working these can be quite effective. Heavy lined curtains make good cheap insulation - a…

Installing an alarm is worth it for peace of mind - I realise this only displaces the problem. Police attribute this to drug addicts feeding their habit - photographing the toe rags is one way to help get convictions. Maybe it is time for the mob…

GOOD Transport links Parkland Walk - good for constitutional walks/runs and the Park, of course Well-placed for shopping - WG Shopping City, Crouch End, Nag's Head etc. Green Lanes and Seven Sisters. Improvement with return of Sainsbury - plus an…

Closing ceremony looked the part - particularly liked Damien Hirst's set - but rather taken aback by the billing that this was the best of 50 years of British music. Russell Brand? One Dimension etc. Dear oh dear. Thought the opening ceremony was …

Have brought this to attention of Tesco but they don't seem interested - they could make a concerted effort to get rid of the bedding that is stowed on their land - although their security team seems as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike. As with…
