  • @Detritus Ok, let's say you had a family member who was using, would you rather that they bought from a criminal or a dispensary of some sort? Because if you have a relation using, you know from your own experience that just because it is illegal th…
  • My comments about legislation and decriminalisation were in direct response to the 'county lines' article. If we have reached the point where young children are kidnapped and forced to sell drugs in cities away from home then the current approach is…
  • The war on drugs is obviously not working. Criminalising drugs puts vulnerable users into more vulnerable situations by forcing them to deal with criminals. Why not ensure that they can have access to a cleaner, safer product in a cleaner safer envi…
  • Off Licence owners don’t stab each other competing for ‘turf’. They also don’t kidnap 15 year olds to sell ‘product’ in market towns outside of the capital.
  • Seems like yet another reason for legislation/decriminalisation.
  • The guy with the hair, pointy shoes and faux leather jackets, the girl on the counter being the most miserable shop assistant in North London. Going in and asking if they stocked Olives? 'Feta cheese perhaps?'. Getting a cab to stop off there pos…

  • I wear a poppy to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in conflict, including my own family. I neither celebrate nor glorify war and wearing a poppy has nothing to do with being anti-anyone. I do not dismiss those who decide to not wear a…
  • Efe's in W1 is fantastic and Mangal in Dalston is great, are they connected?
  • I lived in Bristol for a few years, pretty poor for going out for music in my opinion. Much of the Bristol music scene was more suited to sitting at home stoned. That was why House music never got a good enough grip in that city E's arrived too late…
  • We moved out of Stroud Green when my wife fell pregnant. The main reason was to get close too good schools and to live in a house and not a flat. We now live 25 minutes on the train from St Pancras, in an area surrounded by countryside. Our house is…
  • Marlbrorough Service Station on Marlborough Road (at the end of Hanley Road), used them many times and happy with the service.
  • The place in Victoria is commission free and has almost commercial rates. I've never found anywhere better. That said, depending on how much you want to change is a big factor in whether it is actually worth chasing the best rate.

  • I had a lower ground floor flat and had two bikes chained to the wall, out of sight and a good 8m from the street. They were safe for about two years, then when I returned from an overseas trip I noticed that the wheels had been robbed, two days lat…
  • It seems that the police don't seem too interested, which frankly is embarrassing to all of us as citizens. Imagine if visitors from overseas have these problems when they come here for the Olympics? If it was Boris or 'Call me Dave' who had been …
  • That's a disgusting response from the police. They certainly managed to secure cctv footage of some more high profile crimes on the buses so why not on this occasion? Is it because cases are prioritized? I'm not anti-police because I have found them…
  • My tuppence worth, I like the Old Dairy. It's not pub grub, it's (for the most part) decent meals as you would expect in a restaurant (commanding similar pricing) - bar the very rare partridge I had in there one christmas. There's no excuse for bad …
  • Where's the anti-jumper, anti-sugar lounge, anti-ski holiday guy??? Surely, this thread is calling out for his input?
  • Was he wearing black leather finger-less gloves? A few times I have seen that guy being very aggressive in teh area and twice on the tube (Victoria line)...on those occasions he had headphones on but was glaring at people and spitting out very venom…
  • Popped collars, braying noise outside overpriced eating and drinking establishments, expensive wines, cold meats (prosciutto, bresaola etc), truffle oil, ski holidays, 4x4's, real jobs..........what's not too like, oh, hang on a minute..............…
  • Jeez, this thread really has outed the types who are tittering and using 'carry on' style innuendos to show themselves up!!! get out a bit more and live and let live. The irony of the 'milking shed' was mildly humorous though!

  • In my experience...stay at home or go to a mate's place. NYE is amateur night, full of bridge & tunnel types, massive long waits for drinks, coat check, taxis ,,,you name it!!!
  • I was burgled last year. Despite my assumptions the police were brilliant, arrived very quickly, immensely polite and helpful and they nicked the buys that did it. Don't give up hope!
  • Wow, internet meltdown. Bye then.
  • Was the White Lion not the first ever Weatherspoon's pub? The Noble was previously The Big Fat Sofa and before that a gay pub called The Flag.
  • As someone who drives a 4x4, wears a shirt under a jumper and has 'dining at Seasons' on his to-do list I don't think you and I will get on Kreuzkav. Oh well. '£30k for sitting in front of a computer?' - Can people really live on that?
  • Seconded for Tony's, it's run by a father and son.
  • We got done in a similar way a while ago and the police advised that the culprits did the same to a good number of places all at the same time. It was a gang from Holloway Road/Archway and they arrested a couple of them. Apparently they nick one car…
  • I wish the Windsors would stop wearing jumpers with shirts, that's a big part of the problem! Racism is bad but so is terrorism.
  • I once caught some little toe rags trying to saw through the lock that secured my back to a lean-to in my garden. I chased them off and they came back with a knife....I wouldn't mind but I had been wanting someone to steal that bike for ages and the…

  • Elms-ey's alright. they do have Jazzie B who is/was a local Stroud Green fella but I've never forgiven them for firing norman (jay).
