  • Vitor has been cutting my 3 year olds hair and I took him in today to the new shop and he gave my son a great hair cut. He has Chupa Chup lollies too, even though I had already given him one to get him to have his haircut. His cut is too reaso…
  • I know someone and she and her team are great. She has just done my friends extension in Dagmar Road, and the whole house, she has done lots of work locally (lives in Moray Road). She is a chartered surveyor and has a fantastic team of electri…
  • Aww don't be so mean. I think TT is a breath of fresh air and it's nice to have someone being so supportive of the local area when lots of shops are struggling to keep open at the moment. It's nice to have someone cheering them on.
  • Hi there, Congratulations Donna, how exciting! I got married at Islington Town Hall, we had the cosy Mayors Parlour and they have lots of different rooms and a giant room. They have made it even nicer there too by changing the front of the Tow…
  • Wow thanks Vicky. Great news you got into Ashmount. Ive heard great things about it. I've just started to look in case we move as we are in no mans land for primaries. I have it all to come. Eeeeeeek. Bridget x
  • Thats a shame I was willing it to stay open. I only just found out they delivered and Ive been getting crispy duck, my guilty pleasure. I like popping in there and it's a nice place to go and the staff are nice. Oh well. I love Dudley's too…
  • the senior schools are better but there are a lot more outstanding and good primaries here than there. I think its an odd place, not a nice park or playground there or much green space to visit. Is not at all like Crouch End in a good way. It doe…
  • I recently looked up the crime stats of High Barnet versus Finsbury Park for the month of August this year. High Barnet is quite suburban with a mix of working class and middle class and very old people and feels very sleepy and outer london. …
  • Whether it is useful or not. I find it totally facinating. I love to know what goes on around my area and share information, especially as there is a lot of crime. Im really pleased to know Sam the man exists and will contact him if i need to.…
  • A blue motorbike or moped has been dumped in the trees in Wray Crescent. Must let the police know as it fell on my friends son. Also found someones bag there which had been thrown into the bushes.
  • Hi there, I have a brilliant cleaner who I have had for 3 years, he does my mums, some shops in Crouch E, some other friends. He is great, totally trustworthy, he it Catholic with 3 kids and lives in Stroud Green. He has a lot of work, but…
  • I wouldn’t be suprised if there were riots on the opening day of Sainsbury’s Edmonton Ikea style, with disgruntled Stroud Greeners fighting to get it with their recycled carrier bags, screaming for oat cakes. I’m betting Sainsbury’s is planning o…
  • They were probably laughing at the rude red faced miser at the till. So would I. The staff are lovely at Tesco, treat people how you would like to be treated. If you smile you will usually get a smile back, treat people with respect and you wi…
  • I like it here too! There is lots going for it.
  • Its really sad. I walk past her on the way home with my son from nursery and sometimes we hang around outside and Joe points at her dogs and talks to them and the little one which was killed and she was sitting outside looking really glum. I then re…
  • I think it's got a lot worse. Im always seeing things happening. Having said that they are finally doing a stop and search as we speak on our road. I have written to the MP (Jeremy Corbyn -- USELESS) and the police about the constant drug dealing…
  • Yes there are four trampolines so lots of people can have a go.
  • Hello, Just reminding everyone that the festival takes place this weekend. Andy, please can you make this thread sticky for the week, if possible please. We still need more volunteers on the day for an hour or so. If you have any time to spa…
  • Hellicopters driving me nuts, so loud and non stop!
  • I have found someone now thanks.
  • Police have cordoned off the area under the bridge at Finsbury park so people are driving around and cutting through down Fonthil road.
  • sounds a bloody nightmare. I have all this coming up in just over a years time. my mum heard two women talking about it in virgin active in crouch yesterday. how this woman's kid had been put down for a tottenham school and not a crouch end one a…
  • Hi there, I always buy the Islington Gazette or the local paper wherever I am living as you can't find local news anywhere else. You can get it on the online versions but it's not as good. Also, I like looking at the property section too, but …
  • Ha ha, no there may not be more choice but hopefully better quality. I think a lot of people do buy fresh gravy as when I go to M&S on Sundays before it closes its all sold out. It tastes much nicer than Bisto, though there is nothing wrong w…
  • Sorry I meant to say, they have really nice thing's in Sainsburys that they dont have in Tescos. Tescos just do one kind of bog standard gravy which is awful Sainsburys do different kinds for example. Tescos dont sell Plum baby food wheras Sa…
  • Another supermarket? We only have one. I can't wait as I hate Tesco food, as it's tasteless and you dont really go wow Id really like to eat that when you look around in there. Im hoping Sainsburys have better quality food. Im sure they will…
  • I need a new hairdresser. Can anyone with highlights recommend a good colourist in crouch end?
  • I used the guy in here katie jane used who is great. it cost me about £50 - but they hadnt been cleaned for 4 years! about 6 windows.

  • Well I think you have pretty much killed off this thread with your bullish almost bullying behaviour on this anyway. It is supposed to be a bit of fun isnt it? Thanks for that.
  • Hmm I just think it will blight the skyline to be honest and the light and make the area seem even more depressing! Interesting that LBC thinks its big news - its used on the intro for the news. I forgot it was called City North whatever and w…
