  • I occasionally take my son to the soft play area there - that's really good ( and cheap )
  • Black Sea Grill would be a good location but is quite small. Dream River was up for sale, good location and a bit more space. Amici in East Finchley is a good example of a combi deli/café. Lots of fresh produce, ciabbatas, sandwiches to order, good…
  • Should stuff like this be going in the Directory?
  • Didn't get to the cakes but had a great time. Lovely atmosphere, toddler son went in the (real) fire engine, stroked the police horses and danced to the steel band. Thanks Geoff and all that organised it.
  • We got some bedding plants from Lidl and they survived realy well.
  • Never seen any violence here (apart from the bi-annual beatthecrapoutofeachotherathon depending on which end of the Seven Sisters Road you live ) Had a car nicked from Quernmore Road about 12 years ago.
  • Maybe one for Bridget's Kiwi friend...
  • The selection of cards are better in X-it than in Home.
  • The parakeets can be found in the area fenced off by metal railings in the centre of this map . Sometimes the RSPB set up a stall nearby.

  • Campbell Road sticks out like a sore thumb on the Poverty Map from the discussion on old maps
  • Stroud Green's own SpringWatch...

  • Had a takeaway from Spice Zone last week and it was very good ( meat slightly tough - no bad thing in a curry - and good spices ) and the staff were friendly. It took longer than they said, but they kept apologising and gave me a couple of poppadoms…

  • There was more than just the mayoral election - which was as you say the choice between the devil and the deep blue sea. There's the assembly, as Andy said elsewhere, which might just keep whichever liability gets in in check ( hopefully ).

  • Seems OK - eerily quiet though.

  • Here's the discussion about The Vale Practice.
  • Scarlett Johansson has a discography too
  • I love the flyers from the Red Rose - Red Rose Tandoori as recommended by The Darkness, Ann Widecombe, Anthony Worrall Thompson and the Whittington midwives...
  • Here's the form to sort out the Haringey side of the road https://eforms.secure.haringey.gov.uk/ufs/ufsmain?esessionid=1&formid=REPORT_A_PROBLEM&esessionid=1

  • I did mean late - and the last one was late but not the last, that'll be the one that's due in September ( or more likely October )
  • The first one is normally last - two weeks of hot curries and going on the swings for Mrs Poxy coming up.
  • As Bobby says, Sunshine is good - for me more of a weekday place than weekend. The best bacon sarnie and a cup of tea for £2 - you can't beat it.
  • Shameless Trolling!
  • Most of the "celebs" live in the northern (tube-less) part of Stroud Green called Crouch End. They occasionally come South for our better pubs, transport etc. As Liz says, the celebs ( apart from a few ) aren't A list, unless you watched a lot of …
  • Ah the Frances thing makes sense now. All that bit is a sham, it's a TV studio not a boardroom, the helicopter shots of Canary Wharf and the City yet the beating heart of Sir Alan's empire is in Brentwood. Actually the whole thing is a sham, the do…
  • Yes the burgers are fantastic at PMD, but the (healthy) breakfast was disappointing.
  • Who was Frances?
  • I quite like the Front Room, the staff are generally good. The one thing that is annoying is the Front Door of the Front Room - if only it could have a door closer, it wouldn't feel sub arctic every time someone comes in and leaves the door open. F…
  • There was a helicopter overhead for ages this afternoon - I thought it was to do with the Sarko visit, but it might have had something to do with that.
  • Likewise, a barrister could earn far more not working for Alan Sugar, who made truly awful PCs and seemed to make money more by luck than judgement. Also they treated selling £600 worth of fish for £600 as breaking even! How much is the cost of a p…
  • Why was the Sweden-Brazil match at the Emirates last night and not in Sweden or perhaps Brazil?
