  • Nope, still not convinced any of this is helpful. What am I supposed to do with this information??
  • It is just me that finds this a bit sensationalist and unnecessary? The local police produce their own updates and advice. Providing Samtheman with details of crime so that he can stir up more concern to encourage people to buy stuff off him leave…
  • Has Medi branched out?
  • Drove past last night. It looks terrible.
    in New Pub? Comment by Reg June 2010
  • Thanks for putting the link up. Me and her went on Saturday morning. There were 83 runners and although of varying ability I would say the pack is slightly skewed to 'not half bad' but I think this helps those of us in the bottom third of the table…

  • Got ours off Gumtree
  • If it is the units next to Subway, its a new £ shop.
  • Didn't realise that the boy pretender for Islington North also ran as a Councillor again. [Mildmay](http://islingtonwildlife.typepad.com/islingtoncounts/).
  • Andy, thanks for the videos. I have watched them and feel more informed about my local candidates for councillors than I ever have. I think its a real shame that only Alex Gregg was available to address the electorate from the Conservatives. I can…
  • Thanks to Miss Annie and others. We took up Time Out's recommendation of the one up in Hatfield (A1, then A1(M) - about 25 mins). Went yesterday and between the rain and hail showers managed to take £200 for what can only be described as detritus. …

  • Spotted this on Estates Gazette just now. Mayor gives nod for Finsbury Park resi towers Boris Johnson has approved plans to convert the City North Islington Trading Estate next to Finsbury Park station, N4, into a 355-home residential scheme. …
  • Where can I get a "God loves Tollington" balloon from? Very amusing.
  • Well, we went to the Holloway Car Boot this weekend. It is wrong to refer to it as a 'car boot' as it is definitely more a market. If you want cheap clothes or random bits of phones and computers this is the place. If not, there isn't much there (VH…
    in Car boot sale Comment by Reg April 2010
  • Papa L, agreed. HOWEVER, I am still looking for the PRICK that came leafleting the other week for the Labour party. Having painted my front steps, marked them with a big sign "WET STEPS" and then tried to block access with two brooms, the KNOB deci…
  • Similar story Andy, definitely cracking in some of the plaster. Nothing worse than a van Duking it over and now I get to hear the cars accelerating at least three times down the road before they disappear. From memory of the exchange of e-mails at …
  • Andy, had the same thought about the Conservative. I agree, he seems to be an interesting character but appears to have very little local connection or interest. Definitely dropped in by the party on the promise of a more winnable seat next time. Di…
  • Thanks for this Andy, really helpful. Am surprised that the Lib Dems have gone for such an apparent lightweight. Confidence or resignation? His main reference to law and order seems to be that he was mugged once. Odd. Can anyone offer any insight?
  • This is getting silly Medi. If you own Venezia, just say so.

  • This part of SG is a Conservation Area and all trees in Conservation Areas are protected (in effect a blanket TPO). You need to either get permission or have lodged your intentions for a six week period. Does it look like this took place?
  • Thanks Andy. Are you proud of your baby, you and David? You have given birth to a real life group. Does it have a name? I like the name Sticky Book Club.
  • what does [sticky] mean??
  • I agree that the tone seems too earnest to be simply local well-wishers. I've been in to F2G and think the quality is poor. I have bought from aladdins cave and the big one opposite the old dairy (name escapes me) and have been pleased with the pric…
  • Arky, out of interest what is the MSc in and how have you found studying at Birkbeck? I see the ads but have never met someone who has been.
  • I think you're awesome Slabber. 4 visits, 69 posts and counting.
  • Mark, it's not a thoroughly bad idea. The private operator provides facilities and managment of an operation that is much in demand by a significant minority. Girls not playing team sports is not the issue. Why can't we have both, and have other fac…
  • All good stuff people. Will look in to it, and I agree that this might be at best marginal (esp with London rents - and even more now that we are *officially* out of recession [sigh]). I see that the Handmade Bakery started in a restaurant kitchen.…
  • Where I have seen this emerging elsewhere the Council get an offer they find hard to refuse as they are essentially getting money for nothing - as far as they see it in a strict amenity space provision sense. The offer usually requires the use to b…
  • I see that [Liberty Estate Agent](http://www.libertyestateagents.com/default.aspx) is also marketing the leases of Kebabilicious, Mari e Monti and the chicken/pizza place next door. Never been to Mari e Monti. Worth going before its too late?

  • How about we take control of this? Have been reading about this local co-operative bakery - [Handmade Bakery](http://www.thehandmadebakery.coop) The idea is that as many people as possible subscribe to receive bread each week which underpins the b…
  • Fret not. There's always the Evershot Road Open Space.
