@Ali - my smallish garden has got a bit overgrown and needs cutting back, probably about a day's work. If you know anyone, let me know!
-
It's so loud I frankly might as well have gone.
-
Do you need someone London based? I have friends in Norfolk who might be up for this. Back in time for dinner was the best thing I've seen on TV for ages.

I could tell you which song the Arctic Monkeys were playing from inside my flat, with the double glazed windows shut. Tell me how that's OK? If my neighbours were as noisy as the event at the weekend for two solid days, there would be some action ta…

I have been in touch with Cllr Tim Gallagher about it this weekend. There is a stakeholder meeting about the park this week at which issues will be raised, so people should also contact him. DillysDad, is the FOI response available anywhere? I have …

When I moved into my first flat off Tollington Park, we discovered the foundations of an Anderson shelter in the garden. So possible that many of the big Victorian houses had their own.

For any Stroud Green ward residents, you might like to write to your new Labour councillors about any concerns you have about events in the park. The previous Lib Dem councillors opposed the new policy but lost the vote to the Labour majority. Now w…

The Haelan Centre in Crouch End do spelt bread and I am sure they will also sell spelt flour.

Thanks Richard - great that you raised this and it's good to know that there hasn't been a decision to use the space more regularly.

The reason it's so loud is because they have it on the basketball courts, on high ground by the railway line, so there's nothing to stop the noise carrying. I can see the basketball courts from my back garden and the first year they had the festival…

Thoroughly recommend Cats Whiskers, they have cat sat for me for years, including taking my old cat to the vet when I was away on holiday for a week and then visiting him when he was in overnight. Above and beyond.

What a happy sg.org tale! miss annie and detritus, I hope Beetroot makes you very happy.
-
Returning this thread to its original topic... I went on one of the residents tours today - great to hear directly from Jez about the vision for the place, as well as getting a look at it before it's all shiny and finished. Both of the spaces, but e…

Extremely rapid progress on the Costa today - reckon it will be open tomorrow. It was stocked with food and they were just putting out the tables and chairs when I came past about 6.
-
It's an annual festival, or at least it's definitely happened for the last three years, since I moved to Scarborough Road. The noise issue is because they hold it on the basketball courts because the bottom of the park is full of the Easter fair stu…

Done and done.

Would it help if I told you that my Algerian friend thinks that Boulangerie Bon Matin is Algerian owned, so a French speaking nation but not actually French? (I would also point to the absence of any pork products on the menu as another possible bit…

@ Miss Annie - my uncle, who is a chartered surveyor, says that subsidence is usually caused when something changes, such as broken drains leading to the ground getting waterlogged, or tree roots growing towards a property as the tree gets larger, t…

Just popped in - had a very nice latte, and they have a lovely looking range of cakes too. It's being run by a guy and his uncle, who live in Muswell Hill, and apparently their main focus is coffee. Interested to see what others make of it, given th…

I'm pretty sure I've got a subsidence problem at the back of my house caused by a tree. I'm waiting for my insurance company structural engineers to come out at the moment, and they have a long waiting time for inspections because of the high volume…
-
I have also always found them really friendly, especially the guy who runs the place (I think). And I love the fact that they put the beans with the veggie breakfast in a separate little pot so that they don't get all over the toast. It's the small …

@ Kreuzkav: How can SG.org be a bit 'on the right'? It's just a collection of posts which is not moderated and only occasionally edited by Andy and David (because they have better things to do) for spam and stuff which might get them into legal diff…

I'd really recommend Abbeyvet on Blackstock Road, especially Robyn, who is just lovely and very pragmatic. Also agree about insurance - I read somewhere that more people claim on pet insurance than any other kind. Mine paid for itself multiple times…

For properly bargain threading, try Alternatives on Holloway Road, near the Drayton Park turning - £4.50. It's not posh but it is cheap.
-
@ emine - I think BBR is right that it is probably a seasonal thing, and your cat has brought in young birds who hadn't been around long enough to be scared of cats, even with bells. I have several friends with younger cats who have the same problem…

Just boosting this back to the top as it is this weekend.
-
@ Misscara - yes, the graffiti is on the wall which faces on to the railway line, on the left just after you have gone under the bridge into the park (on a train, that is).

Grr. Link works when I preview it then not when I post it. Sorry.

Kinetic Pilates are local - based in a lovely studio behind Londis on Ferme Park Road. There are three teachers now working there and I know they are doing more classes as well as individual sessions. I've been going for about two years and would hi…
