  • If you are having bridesmaids, a number of my friends have used this N4 based etailer! I think they are based over in the Fiorentina clothing village .... anyway, they do made to measure, fantastic fast turnaround, oh and they are affordable.
  • Ooh, he was on the W7 this morning. Nice one.
  • What about the able people who have bought new shoes which turn out to rub and pinch and then they can't take any more walking - they use that bus stop a lot. Or the people who have bought leggings (leggins? I dunno) which ride down and cause emba…
  • Do you remember Woody's was called Yesim when it first opened? Far better name (and signage - whopping orange glowing letters) imho. I love the staff in there - especially the guy who used to have a mullet, he's such a dish now he's had a haircut!…

  • Well I thought Diamond were excellent. I had to do some refresher lessons. I would recommend calling and speaking to their receptionist, tell her what you are after, and she'll put you in touch with the right person for you. If you want to pay th…
  • I'd suggest the black painted wall by Old Dairy's bin chamber on Hanley Road, good natural light. I often see the chef's standing there on their break, and think it looks like a shoot for a Sat weekend mag... honestly!
  • Check out Duncombe Primary, my children are not old enough yet, but recently did a tour with a view to sending them there, and I'm really impressed, it's a really lovely local school.
  • Bottom end, just up from Stonenest Street, notice he's got some lovely cobwebs in his ears now, it's a good year for spiders isn't it?

  • Where is Ariela? We tried the ice cream in Pappagone today, the range is tiny, it's not a patch on Ariela's range, boo hoo, we miss her gelato.
  • Hi there I was in a similar situation recently, except it was 20 years since I passed and I had not driven at all in that time! I rang Diamond (I'm sure someone on here recommended them a while back) and they booked me in with Conan, a really lovel…
  • Maybe those buildings no longer exist... perhaps they had to be pulled down? Wasn't there a school once where Tescos now is? Or was that years before WW2? It might have been there, I'm sure the huge bomb fell near the junction with Tollington Par…
  • I met an old dear on the bus once who told me about that, there was a line of them which fell over north london, she knew every location, and I think she said it was on SGR, but I can't place the buildings, and they are very distinctive.. someone wi…
  • There's an offer at Dudleys where kids under 10 can eat for free, I know not many babies would be up for a lardylicious pancake, but for bigger ones, it's fab. Usually you have to venture to Crouch End or further afield for that kinda deal... By t…
  • Thanks for the free Limetta today, totally gorg and good luck with the new location. So soooooooooo pleased you are staying on SGR.
  • Thanks all for suggestions, gona plan a couple of day trips for this weekend as we've ballsed up the parking permits!
  • Maybe she could get a nice icecream van and park on SGR?

  • I managed to cram in an enormous Limetta after 3 courses in Pappagone tonight. Did you know that all that lovely gelato is hand made by one person - Ariela? Stroud Greeners are so lucky!

  • Why not just stick a note through the door? they might be out when it's happening and totally unaware of the problem...

  • Pappagone's icecream counter? Oh noooo, now the sun's shining its hard to resist.

  • Try Sainsburys at Harringey Green Lanes (hop on the train from Crouch Hill, just one stop) they were cheaper than Homebase for pots and compost...
    in Garden Centre Comment by Beek April 2009
  • Yes, definitely try Sparks (looks more like a photo printing / framing shop from the outside). They've a good selection of electricals stuff!
  • I found myself dreaming of this thread! Yes, dreaming of the sg.org website! I'm sure there was a helicopter overhead this morning (sunday) really early and I couldnt' be arsed to get up and see if it was Obama, Branson, Royalty, Police etc, then …

  • Agree their paneer is sublime, and the free popadoms and mango chutters are a nice touch but that's about it. Tarka dal was made with mashed up tiny chickpeas (not lentils) and had no discernable spice or seasoning, virtually a pease pudding. An…
  • What an absolutley beautiful image.

  • Not as far as I know, the lease ran out for our SOS.
  • Can you actually see this wonderful architectural gem from the main road? I obviously need to do a walk-by cos all I can remember in that location is some ropey gates and hideous tiles!!
  • NHS choices website (I'm using it at the mo!) lists it, but also states if you're having problems finding an NHS dentist in our area call 020 7527 1182, good luck.
