I'm Ian's wife and not quite such an early adopter (also didn't post as much). It was the demise of our village networking site that prompted me to remind him about stroudgreen.org. We fondly remember the heyday before people hung out quite so much …

Ken was selected at a time when nobody thought Labour had a chance of winning the mayoralty and so nobody else wanted to stand. As Ali said, things were a mess post-election. The choice London party members were given was Ken versus Oona King and th…

I disagree about endless threatening letters. I didn't have a TV until I moved in with my TV-loving husband. Don't ignore the red letters. Just call them up and explain that you don't have a TV. They didn't ever bother me again. The worst they can d…

I took a train to Cambridge from platform zero the other week. That was pretty exciting. I'll definitely get off the tube early at Kings Cross this week and walk the rest of the way to work so that I can to have a look at the new concourse. I'll be …

You don't need to pay £250 to NCT to get on the local mailing list. I can send you details if you whisper me. It gives you a chance to meet people through teas hosted at people's homes. Millions of people with buggies round here - it is quite hard n…

@misscara I grew up in Steyning. It is a great village. Fully stocked high street because it is just about far enough away from larger towns like Brighton. I share your views about Brighton's more scummy parts. Ditchling is beautiful, but very very …

I can vouch for what my husband Ian just said.

We go to the Laundry stay and play quite a bit. It is supported by North Islington Children's Centre who provide creche workers as support. We are very lucky to have lots of great stay and play groups round here via the Islington Children's Centres …

What poxy said.

I've recently switched from O2 to Orange and find things are a bit better round here with the Orange/T-mobile combo. Certainly fewer dropped calls.

It seems like I can only upgrade my account if I become a business. I want to upgrade! What am I missing out on? Andy????????

We have no problem with post on Regina Road, but I sympathise. I had parcels not delivered and presumed stolen when I lived in Highbury and in Cambridge. It is important to complain - we did in Cambridge and eventually got a new postie, which stoppe…

A car on Regina Road was broken into today. Broad daylight I think...

We found two enormous spiders in our house last night. One scuttling across the living room, which we put outside on the other side of the road in the hope s/he would choose another house to explore. The other was in the bath so we sent it down the …

Let us know what you find in your explorations. I would be interested in singing in a local choir now that I have a kid and so can't really justify continuing to sing in a central London choir. Pooles Park is too early for me though. And I'd rathe…

UCH regularly use email with me so they seem to have got over any security issues. I can correspond with a specialist nurse about visits and test results. If I'm at the GP and need some extra information to help make a decision, UCH will happily s…

I did pregnancy yoga classes with Julie Tortora, just off Stapleton Hall Road. Met lots of local women who had babies around the same time, which is nice.

Pooles Park primary school is still here. You can see it on [google maps](http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?client=safari&q=N4+3NW&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=London+N4+3NW,+United+Kingdom&gl=uk&ll=51.564693,-0.112159&spn…

Appears to be classes starting on Tollington Park soon: [http://www.zumbafitnesslondon.co.uk/](http://www.zumbafitnesslondon.co.uk/) Both my sisters do Zumba and love it but I suspect I might feel a bit ridiculous if I tried it.

I've just made the switch from iphone to android. I liked my iphone, but it was hopeless for actually making phone calls. Took an age to connect, often went straight to voicemail when people tried to call, and used to drop calls halfway through qu…

You should definitely ask him. I'm sure he'd enjoy the company.

Having tried and rejected all the dreadful chinese take-aways in our neighbourhood (Mei May Wok on SGR, and the ones on Hanley and Fonthill), we ordered a meal from [Silkmaker](http://hungryhouse.co.uk/silkmaker) on Tottenham Lane tonight: We thoug…

I still don't understand why it has taken months to complete the junction. Resolving the live wire problem could have taken 24 hours if the relevant people had the will to do so. It makes me angry every time I have to cross the junction to get to …

Here is the steak and ale pie. It was excellent. Thanks jandb!

Thanks for the link jandb. Ian is making your steak and ale pie as I type. I have high hopes...

Can we get back to pies? I'd like to make pies. Any simple recommendations?

The difference between TollingtonTom and me is that I really am becky and I am myself on this site. If people criticise me then I'll take it personally. TollingtonTom is clearly an assumed persona so how can the person who is writing possibly ta…

I'm still here. Can't we just get back to those threads where we share experiences of local dentists?
