  • The exterior is much better already.
  • It certainly did feel different at that end with The Larrick, Woody’s and Chapter One at the crossroads, I also think the Delivery app drivers using SGR as a commodity to sit, chat, smoke etc. before zooming off at high speed / volume also does not …
  • @Agaton Sax do you ever cycle to the Blackhorse Beer Mile? It's a nice ride and there's some cracking places on the BBM, I tend to get the Goblin down there if drinking but I have cycled down there via the Walthamstow Wetlands before now.
  • I do know a musician who lives in Stroud Green and doesn't read these boards, is it on a piano? I'll dig out my tricorn hat.
  • @krappyrubsnif I also enjoyed reading all about the ancient corporation and Mr Legg via your blog and the Hornsey Historical Society's magazine, I wanted to reply from a desktop as opposed to my phone (as I'm doing now) to avoid typo's but hey ho. …
  • There is a feature on this on ITV news.
  • Reminds me of the time someone refused to put money in the collection tin in the Archway Tavern and got hit full whack around the head with a bar stall. I see quite a bit of Colombian usage in the White Lion nowadays.
  • Is Abbot Ale a good thing or a bad thing? I've never tried it personally. It was very busy at about 8pm last night, it's definitely still got pockets of that Clahm type clientele but the space is now much more bright and airy then the old version …
  • The Green King "Level Head" glass is a thing of absolute beauty.
  • While I simply cannot help but read the word Muder in the voice of Jim Taggart in my head I can't believe what's gone on in the park, surely the terms of hire must mean they have to at least leave the park as they found it i.e. not like a boggy mars…
  • I assume that his parents still have the unit in that building or have they all gone / possibly retired? Edit: The Danor website is down as well, I had a chat with them a couple of years ago re the anti small-business coalition that are currently i…

  • If he runs as an independent he's more likely to gain votes than if he ran for Labour. https://skwawkbox.org/2023/03/29/private-health-ceo-lined-up-to-try-to-take-corbyns-seat-for-starmer/
  • Yes and people really need to start questioning why the media hate him.
  • I thought it was really working as well, busy every night of the week. I notice people are literally queueing up to get into Max's now, good to see.
  • Rattle, Grenn and Holborn being in agreement sounds like an ominous Nostradamus prediction.
  • The Royal Mail sell off was a disgrace, we can see the physical assets being sold off for flats but I suspect we cannot see that they are robbing the pension fund blind and loading the company with debt as well.
  • @therattle rattle you are quite right in that I did attack a previous article put up on this site, that was because said report was (IMO) badly written clickbait, full of non-facts and written by an obviously funded Think Tank who had very recently …
  • @overandin who are the nutcases in the video, people are arguing for both sides? The point is that people were not allowed into the (unadvertised) meeting so have no voice. Articles from Forbes and quotes from Professor QuackQuack from the "Active…
  • Yes, then let's nationalise the other services as well. I got the train to Birmingham a couple of years ago when the line was forced into nationalisation, it cost SIX QUID and (brace yourself) even ran on time. I believe it is back in the hands of…
  • The barbeque ban is a direct quote from an Islington councillor... Here is some more 'democracy' in action involving that very same person. That article from Forbes acknowledges that there are studies providing the opposite of what they have ma…
  • Out of curiosity, do you think the change will benefit the man in the street or the train operators?
  • Go and ask the people on Myddleton Road what they think and then see if The Guardian will publish it.
  • When Khan has forced all of the old cars out of London do people think he will mothball the cameras and lovely income or do they think he will then target other vehicles? And return train tickets are being stopped as well by all accounts, so train …
  • Highbury Corner has constant traffic gridlock from all directions and the time it takes to get through all of the sets of lights (on a bike or driving) is much greater than before. Re Liverpool Road, the square speedbumps encourage drivers to strad…
  • It is not just LTNs either. Cllr Rowena Champion, Islington Council’s executive member for environment, air quality, and transport, said: “We’re determined to create a cleaner, greener, healthier borough for all, and reducing air pollution – which…
  • Recent studies have shown that we could achieve Net Zero by 2025 if everyone just ate a CEO or Hedge Fund Manager.
  • Marlborough Road is wrecked every morning due to the School Street which only covers Sussex Way (and the school is 10 yards away). Liverpool Road is exactly the same and Canonbury is now a car park thanks to the LTN and "improvements" made to Highb…
  • As are school streets when every other street 10 yards away is gridlocked.
  • Islington sent the reminders out circa 6 months late and then said that they did send them so people were liable. I have a reminder set on my computer anyway and renewed in time so I'm not sure how the appeals went on that one but there is no lega…
