Went for breakfast this morning and thought it was great. I had the cinnamon toast (yoghurt, blueberries, maple syrup) and m'lady had scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. All good.
Only oddity is that there is a full vegetarian english breakfast (vegg…
Spoils of class? Andy strikes me as an intelligent, open minded and positive individual so good luck to him. If more people took a leaf out of his book we might have fewer people moaning about how life is so unfair. Grow up and go and sort your life…
"Imposing religion and the monarchy"?? Brownies? The first is done by the parents, the second is by the accident of your birth in these shores.
Incidentally, I'm a Royalist. I don't think its backward at all. Anyone read Power and Prosperity by Man…
Me and her had burgers at the Shaftesbury last night and they were brilliant. The hand made burgers were seriously good and the chef himself asked how we wanted them. But the stars of the show were the chips. M'lady reckons they are the best she has…
Ate at Yemek last night.
I have to say that we thought the food was really good, lots of it and not bad value at all (compared to Petek). However, it was dead and at one point we were the only ones in there.
The fit-out is far from appropriate fo…
Interesting that in Tollington ward about 45% of housing is 'social'. This is pretty close to the Ken's old 50% target delivery in new schemes.
I wonder if that make us a "mixed and balanced" community?
Are you "mixed and balanced", fellow Tolling…
I've always had time for KFH who seem to making inroads to the SG/FP area.
As for Foxtons, if you are selling I think they should make your list. Just try to avoid buying through them.
I go to Costa, the Greek guy on Bavaria Road (off Hornsey Road) for all my barbering. Nice guy and I usually pay about £8. I then spend £2 on scratch cards at the newsagent on Hornsey Road. I have never won a penny there. I think there is a scam goi…
We went last night and thought it was great. I had the clam and crab chouder which was excellent and the lady had steak which was done perfectly.
Easy 4 stars. Maybe a half more for being so close to home...
I was woken by the commotion and saw the tail end of it (although not the assault itself)
He was badly shaken but managed to chase them down the road before giving up. I spoke to him and he seemed mainly disappointed to have lost his laptop. An amb…
Andy, by definition 65% of something implies that 100% is achievable. And Dorothy is right, it would set a precedent on rent reviews. You're better off focusing on the private sector landlords with empty units.
I know some of the guys at USM and l…
The problem is that the local authority is statutorily obliged to get the best financial return on it's property. The place I contract to would like to do something more enlightened with it's stock but has it's hands tied. Incidentally, with the cut…
Arkady - I have not said that respect = same as. However, if JJ's brief to their architect included the requirement to have respect for the character of these two residential roads, as the policy clearly indicated would be preferable, I can't imagin…
In terms of height I am with the [Finsbury Park AAP](http://www.islington.gov.uk/DownloadableDocuments/Environment/Pdf/finsburypark/finsbury_park_aap_october_07.pdf) - page 20: Building heights should respect the character of Lennox Road and Clifton…
I got shown around the soon to be 99p store by the owner last week. He tried to get tesco before they moved further along. 99p stores are doing well, I don't think there were many other takers. What that area needs is for that triangular site (with …
Went to little sainsos for the first time this afternoon and although I like the bakery section and there is a better range of stuff, on balance I think I miss Woodys.
As an aside, there was an horrendous stench at the corner of Hanley and Regina. …
Kate, have you had any contact with the Trustees of FinFuture? They are the local regeneration trust and I am sure they might be able to help negotiate the murky world of committee members?
