Telford Homes today announced a fresh six month delay to City North, with completions now expected after April 2020. Their full statement below. Don’t expect Finsbury Park station to get back to normal any time soon... “Finally, we have experienced…

The thing that really gets me is when they leave the special offer signs on the shelf after the offer's ended. E.g. "any two herbs for £1.50" and then the discount doesn't go through. I spotted this last week - the offer had ended ten days earlier. …

Oddly, but very conveniently, Travelex are pretty competitive as long as you buy it on their website at least the day before you travel. You can then pick it up at the airport.

Great idea. I'll join in. The simplest way would be to donate at the link below which allows any amount, and gets Gift Aid. Then on the next page you have to give your details including organisation - which should be Stroudgreen.org. That way th…

Hi Donna Jenny from book club here. I have a few things I can pass on to you including a few maternity clothes (but not a moses basket). Perhaps you could pop round sometime?

Steph's BitterSweet cupcakes also highly recommended!

I've just finished delicious lapsang souchong and pastel de natas. Also great to chat to other SG.orgers. Many thanks to Rosanna and Season for organising it. Roll on the next popup event!

Maybe best to stick to the Haringey side of SGR, given Islington police have just advised as follows according to the Islington Gazette: *Do not be on the streets unless absolutely necessary. We appeal to parents and all those responsible for young…

Are men welcome to attend the march, assuming they support its aims? I imagine the [LPFMG](http://londonprofeministmensgroup.blogspot.com/) guys will be out in force.

Our courgettes have just flowered, and I have become a [BigPumpkins.com](http://www.bigpumpkins.com) addict. Bring it on.

Thanks for the link to photos, Arkady. The church certainly seems to have looked after the building, whatever else one thinks of them. [This one](http://flickr.com/photos/hjuk/2558335149/) shows the village scene complete with rug draped over a rail…

I can recommend Fastech at 467 Green Lanes, a couple of blocks past the big Sainsburys. Good no-nonsense attitude and prices start at way below £60.

I was there earlier in the evening. Staff were all welcoming. The layout is very spacious and child-friendly. The guacamole and salsa seemed home-made and the grilled veg for a fajita were good quality, so I would say the cooking is a step up from …

It's at the Dudley's Pancakes site on SGR by Wetherspoons.

Several of the Green Lanes greengrocers should be open 24 / 7.

Another vote for Kayak, which is very user-friendly and comprehensive. A meta-guide to the various cheap flight sites and approaches is [here](http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-flights#scrapers).

If very short of time, then the Heathrow Express would be fastest and could save you around 20 minutes over the Piccadilly line. But using the Circle line to Paddington would be a mistake -- change at Oxford Circus every time. Gold card or network…

Dalston Curve works were tendered at [£6.5m](http://www.cnplus.co.uk/news/job-to-link-east-and-north-london-lines-out-to-tender/1534158.article)(£). To reach Finsbury Park might cost more than that, given track, signaling and station works. But sure…

The East London Line upgrade / extension cost [£1bn ](http://www.nce.co.uk/major-projects/east-london-line/express-delivery-of-the-east-london-line/5213137.article). Apparently the refurbishment of the existing old structures was the riskiest part o…

Unfortunately I can't help on the history request, but I'd second Krappy's call on 'The Fields Beneath' - a brilliant book on the universal theme of how a city grows up. The fact it is about north London is just the icing on the cake. To have Ms Tin…

Ponting golden duck!

Run out in first over. Get in!

I may drop by tonight for the drinking side of things, despite complete lack of knitting prowess.

Nonsense - that would be a charter for supermarket over-charging. Ali is performing a public service to the rest of us by keeping them in check.

Have also entered a brief supporting submission via the website. I hope I'm not too late in this.

@Siolae, I didn't mean to dismiss your experience which is clearly valid in terms of the types of serious cases that do occur. All kinds of terrible things go on, and I wouldn't want to be blind to that, but context and quantification are also impor…
