We were there on Saturday night, it's 40% off the bill until October 15th and we got a dessert and two teas on the house so they're definitely making an effort to impress. The pizza was fine but nothing special, I think next time I'd try one of thei…

Congratulations Mirandola! I didn't do any NCT classes before my daughter was born last year mainly because the ones held around here seemed to be far too expensive at a time when I really needed to concentrate on saving money. Also I wasn't really …

I used Chris from Fahri Jacob as well and can definitely recommend him, I was a very naive first time buyer and he helped steer me through the whole process.

Been meaning to write this for a good while, and I've finally been spurred into action by another amazing meal a few nights ago. Ajani's is a fantastic restaurant with some of the best food you can find in London. We've been going there since it o…

Definitely a bakery if possible. As Vetski says there was a shop very like the one you're thinking of and it really didn't get a lot of business. No need for a Boots with our lovely SGR pharmacy but a little second hand bookshop that also sold cards…

Sorry to hear about the bid Andy, sounds like it would have been (still could be perhaps?) a great project. The site is great most of the time and really useful for helping me feel more connected to the place I live in, hopefully it's just going thr…

Brodiej, I think it's about more than just intolerance on the part of some posters. I could be wrong but I imagine most people who've been reading and contributing to SG org for a few years would agree that it's lost something in the past few months…

Donna, I have lots of newborn and 0-3 months baby clothes that you're very welcome to have if you like. Some of them have hardly been worn and all are in good condition - message me if you'd like to come around and have a look.

I wouldn't say the staff are sullen but the service is incredibly slow despite the fact that there always 5 or 6 of them standing around behind the counter not doing much. I've been there 3 or 4 times but it's usually been as a second choice when th…

I had a similar problem with AATBF - I asked them to come around to service the boiler and by the end of the day they had disconnected the gas hob and the gas fire neither of which I had asked them to look at. I found them very difficult to commun…

I'm shocked as well! Misscara, are you sure you don't want to rethink/delete your last post?!

I agree with Krappyrubsnif about this kind of behaviour being more for the benefit of the other men around them rather than actually intending to be genuinely suggestive or intimidating. Having said that I don't enjoy being hissed at and whispered …

Excellent news, The Park Theatre have been awarded a late licence for when they open next year. Apparently they had around 80 letters in support of the application and no objections from local residents. www.parktheatre.co.uk

You could go to Budgens in Crouch End instead - according to the Guardian they're starting their own boycott. '11.21am: The owner of a Budgens supermarket in north London has tweeted that he will not be selling the News of the World "for now" and …

@ Brodiej I've definitely noticed an increased police prescence near Wray Crescent since the stabbing last week. 3 or 4 police cars were there yesterday and they took away at least two members of a gang of kids as they were walking towards the park…
-
As Drumbeg says the issue isn't with Timmymc telling the police exactly what he saw, the problem is with people posting links to videos and speculating on where the people responsible may be living. The police are taking this really seriously, they…

Hi Nicole, I'm going to start the Thursday evening pregnancy yoga classes at Yoga Junction in the next few weeks, I'll be about 20 weeks pregnant by then. It would be great to have a fellow StroudGreener in the class so whisper me if you're interere…

It's seems quite rude and spiteful for someone to denigrate a whole area on the basis of spending a few days there and probably only seeing the (admittedly tatty) area around the station. It's like those annoying tourists on the the tube who look ar…

Have you thought about talking to someone from the Stroud Green Safer Neighbourhoods team? I've heard they're pretty good at dealing with lower level nuisance stuff like this that you wouldn't want to go directly to the police about.

Gentrification probably isn't the word for what I'm describing. I'm lamenting the arrival of big chains in an area (SGR, Tollington, Hornsey Rd) which has so far been blissfully free of them, Nandos and Tesco on SGR excepted.
-
This is really depressing news, I agree that Hornsey Rd needs something to give it a boost but it's sad that a Tesco is going to arrive there. Will be really bad news for the exisiting shops and will probably be the end of the bakery too (which admi…

As Misscara said earlier the prospect of having to push past the smokers who seem to be permanently hanging around must be putting off a lot of potential customers.

Sincers, to be fair St Patrick's Day was a big deal long before Guinness got on the marketing bandwagon. SG should count itself lucky that Guinness hasn't tried to push the tacky [Arthur's Day](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur's_Day) idea over he…

Definitely not venturing out to celebrate! Lots of the kids (and some of the mothers) outside Christ the King school on Tollington had their hair dyed green and were wearing shamrock badges this morning. It was very festive for 8.30am, I was impress…

Oh dear, I hope no one's used this SGR dentist with the 'dirty surgery'

I like Lee Garden on Hornsey Rd, the food isn't wildly exciting but they do good standard dishes like Chow Mein, Beef in oyster sauce etc. They deliver though I think you need to spend more than £10 for it to be free.

I've signed without a problem. JimCricket, will you be putting notices up around Wray Crescent with the petition details?

Wray Crescent on a summer's day and St Mark's church (on Tollington) lit up with candles at Christmas time are both beautiful.
