The CAAC is a complete sham. It is run, with the exception of Arkady, by a few do-gooders, at least a couple of whom don't even live in the 'hood, and none of whom have any planning experience!! If they think cutting an original Victorian sash wind…

@harpistic - thanks very much. I've done that now - useful!@andy - also thanks shame about that as it reminded me to look at the site but perhaps you'll find an alternative you like soon.
-
Andy - or someone - would you be able to answer about the weekly emails? Don't you send them any more? Also does this new site have a facility for notifying you when someone posts on a thread that you've posted on (like Facebook?). Cheers
-
The CAAC gave a response to a planning application next door that did not raise any conservation issues but raised an overlooking issue that isn't a conservation matter, in spite of there being responses from neighbours that raised the conservation …

Haven't visited the site for a few months. I used to get a weekly update by email so I looked at it then but I don't get those any more. Will have a look at all the new features later, but just for now does it do that Facebook thing (and - shock h…

Thanks Ian. Yes I can't think it's the virgin man either! I retuned the channels on the digi box but it didn't scan BBC 1,2 and 3. So I've well and truly lost them. I just don't get it. Can't get them on my DVD recorder either, but CAN get them …

Not 'can can' but 'can get'! Should have previewed the post.

Not really related but I am TV ignorant and like Rainbow I don't watch much TV but this is very useful as I was thinking of upgrading next year, having had a good Sony LCD for the past 8-10 years. The Wi-fi enabled TV is excellent advice - I didn't…

That's a good idea! Think I will do that. I follow football but have never been to a match although I have got a ticket for the women's final in the Olympics.

Rosanna - it was fabulous! Do it again please (although a lot of unpaid work for you). Loved the apple loves mint tea - have never been to Coffee Circus - will try it. Mirandola - glad you liked the lemon polenta cake - it goes down a treat with …

Totally agree with the Grr! I queried this process on 4th September and this is the reply I got on 7th OCTOBER! They don't appear to know that if you issue Freepost envelopes they will only be charged for the ones actually used. I also raised this…
-
@andy - shame on you - and a consultant and all!!! You know well enough that the census yields useful information on demography, employment, health etc - I'm sure you use it for your work!! Are you being disingenuous - and for why? What is the po…
-
Yes they are really coordinated!! I have a friend who is being trained (by Lockhead Martin no doubt!!) on this very day to be a Census chaser-uperer. She says they issue them with lists of people who have't returned their forms.
-
Agree really - life is too short for this sort of nonsense - but I was thinking of the more vulnerable members of Haringey who may even get their discount taken away! Added to which I was incensed by the fact I had to dig out an envelope and a stam…

BBM looks lovely - I was one of the ones staring in at the window last Saturday but my friend wanted to go to the Front Room. I think she had the same problem with the grammar but I said I didn't think titles of cafes would have the 'du' in them. …
-
Highly educated non-religious then - dare I say the chattering classes...Interesting to see high levels of self employment. And it will be interesting to compare it with 2011 Census - coming your way soon. Please fill it in as the Coalition Gov ha…

Al Jazeera on Freeview is the best impartial news I find...

Four Eyes thanks for that. I'm going to the website Andy gave in future to look as I would really love to see a steam train go past Harringay.
-
Mine too - it is lovely but the cat refuses to go out. I'll have to send him to the urinals at the White Lion!
-
Kielder is fantastic!! I agree - especially in the autumn when the larch is turning golden. Lovely. I was on the Woodland Trust site this evening and they are measured about the proposals. I think we need to see what the proposals actually are b…

There's no proposed legislation to sell off the forests in Scotland and Wales. But I think on the whole I would support the 38 degree campaign in England. The Forestry Commission has learned not to plant rows and rows of sitka spruce which were so…
-
Yeah why not - the squeezed middles are from a walk of life presumably! At the dinner table so far I've met a Green person, two of the Mind workers, someone with mental ill health, a political activist, a gardener, a photographer and a journalist. …
-
I'm only 5.2. Would it come past Harringay station - it shoud do? I'll watch it from there. Last time I tried watching the train was cancelled and I was really disappointed.
-
ooh that's a really good book - I read it ages ago. I might dig it out and look at it again and come along!
-
Thanks for that incredibly good website, Andy. I think I might subscribe to that. Here are links to listings for free events in London: http://www.freelondonlistings.co.uk/ http://www.freelondonevents.co.uk/

I saw the steam on Saturday. I was looking out of my kitchen window and I saw masses of steam coming from the railway but it was the Gospel Oak to Barking line that I'm on, not the mainline Kings Cross line. I couldnt see the train as it is a cutt…
-
Do go - it's fab. I'm not needy but it's great place to meet local people. I've already found a guy in my street who will help me sort out my switch from PC to Mac! It does need to stay open to use all that wasted food. What's brilliant too is …

Has anyone mentioned the wonderful shop front on Crouch Hill opposite the Dairy. It is a second hand furniture shop but the stuff outside obscures the MOST beautiful curved windows. Have a look on a Sunday as the shop is shut and the windows unobs…
-
@arkady - it would be lovely to have the original brick work showing but the work would cost money (and while someone is doing that they could also tart up the laundrette opposite and that would be a really nice entrance to Ferme Park Rd). Mind in …

I'm going to give it a try tomorrow! We do need a lunchtime cafe in this area. But what happened to Mind?
