@Scruffy, I agree with you about the lack of bitter in these parts. Are you and I the only ones who notice that horrible smell from that run-down looking shop on Stroud Green Road?

Transatlantic shenanigans aside, I've been going to Dr Khan on SGR for a couple of years, and she's always seemed very professional, but so far I haven't needed anything other than a clean.

From Muggsborough to an entire Muggsland in a century. (No, Fox, never knew any Brookses)

Sorry, @Papa L , I'm even more lost now. Were you answering my question to @Kreuzkav ?
-
@kreuzkav , "jumper-over-shirt problem"? I've seen a few references to "jumper over shirt" a few times in this site (and this site only!) What does it mean?
-
Now I see, from these brilliant socio-economic analyses, how the country's problems could be solved if more restaurants were to encroach on the pavement space needed for pedestrians. I have seen the light! (First I'm accused of trolling, then they …

Indeed, @Papa L , I would find it difficult to believe that they didn’t know that they were over their allotted line, particularly if they’ve had to apply for a license in the first place, which is partly why I take the attitude which I do. I do lik…

'Anging's too good fer 'em! @Papa L -Expressing anything other than a milquetoast attitude is not necessarily an attempt at trolling, and this really isn't. The "independent business people who care about the area" are surely the ones who play by …

Papa L, in this scenario it's definitely better to "grass someone up to the council" (my word, you do sound edgy, sir!) Your nicey-nicey "courteous and civil" polite argument keels over when you imply that people informing the council are grasses. H…

"Strouders"??? I'd have thrown up, preferably on his/her shoes, and then connived to have them added to the local sexual offenders list (assuming they weren't already on it). Bad enough when people say "Finsbury" when they mean Finsbury Park. Fox,…

No, thirdeariespace, but I'm not going to clutter up this page any further just because you don't seem to comprehend what I've already written, so you go ahead and have the last affected word on the matter. Further apologies to geog_research.
-
No, @_Bee, I'm quite, quite happy, I was just a little irritated, that's all. @therattle understood my point of view (thanks, rattle): @geog_research's original post had no introduction or explanation, just the survey questions, so I just blithely …
-
That's nice to know, and not at all surprising, Jennymc99, but to put that point another way, it seems a fairly good assumption that the further people live from SGR, the less likely they are to be members of this site (since it is called stroud gre…

Thirdeariespace: I didn't insult anyone; my adjectives were applied to the apparent research method. What I would hope to gain is simply to discourage people posting such surveys, or at least giving more thought to what they're doing. It's not my re…

That's interesting, Brodiej; so you're easily amazed and you don't learn from experience? All right, I apologise for being so curt, but if I seemed rude it's because this sort of nonsense irritates me. This is not a survey site. This site is ostens…

How do you feel about people who join your local community website apparently just to post a poorly-contrived and ill-founded questionnaire?

Freemans in Topsfield Parade, Crouch End has decent sausages. Much farther afield, Camisa in Old Compton St, Soho has good Italian sausages (with or without fennel seeds).

Spirited performances, but a song of that quality, what with its "Waiting for Godot"-like inevitable rhyming scheme and powerful, yet undeceptively simple musical structure (made me think of a chocolate digestive without the chocolate that then turn…

Hello, all! Born and bred in SG and lurked a bit under a different name while exiled until a couple of years ago. Glad to be back.

Krappy, what tune was used with the corporation song? If it's from the time of the original corporation, would you post a link to the notation, please?
-
Well, Miss Annie, let's not get mired in questions of the rationality about belief in a divinity, and I don't want to turn this into a discussion on faith or atheism (or have a row!), as it's somewhat beside the point. What implies this person has m…
-
I agree with you on that first point, Kate. As for appalling comments, I know someone who has lived in Stroud Green for decades whose comment was "Now they [the Muslims] know what it's like." This person is a Catholic, so I drew the parallel, "So wh…

I take your point, krappyrubsniff, but I think in this case—that of an an individual apparently acting on his own (not as a member of any kind of association or organisation), possibly as a result of mental problems—it can hardly be a reflection on …

Krappyrubsnif, what difference does it make whether the perpetrator is a local?

The white building on the north side of Oxford Road just before the entrance to the park used to be Kay Laboratories. They processed film for the film industry and were bought by MGM.
