Yikes ... But not!
-
To be fair pubs happen less in the childrearing years. My street is amazingly community minded but lots of it is focused around kids - and every other household seems to have some, completely different to when I moved here a long time ago. But I'm a…
-
Good news that they've backtracked. I've seen pictures of the tree boxed in but no updates elsewhere - and with the horrible example of Plymouth was fearing the worst - so thank you for better news!
-
I've seen people recommending gold needle in wood green
-
Sew has closed down apparently. The place in Hornsey Road used to be a theatrical costume maker and was great, but since then it's changed hands once or twice and closed down during pandemic - new people now in who do alterations, but don't know ab…

I've posted this on the street whatsapp - I'll let you know if anyone responds. But it's such a tough time. I hope something turns up

I've got someone rebuilding a fallen portico at the moment who seems very good - http://wpdproduction.com/. I was also recommended North London Masons but they were too busy and I think the job was too small!
-
What a nice idea
-
The famous Corbyn Street party was in September last year and I haven't heard anything yet about plans for this year, so it looks like we're staying with the autumn
-
There's a street party in Marriott Rd/Stonenest St on June 5th - presumably jubilee related

VC was a mystery typo!
-
And apologies for random phone additions. No VCs have any place here, military or academic, and the question marks are a mystery ????
-
This is really depressing. What a stupid VC mess of mixed messages, failed consultations and swift dodgy decisions - unconvincing in every way ????
-
So upsetting, I hope she turns up. My cat went missing for about five days a few years ago, completely out of character, and eventually wandered back into the front garden on her own. Lots of advice on local missing cat groups on facebook too.
-
Looks great! Is it available anywhere?
-
Reviving the sorting office would be a good move, following the N4 xmas post catastrophe! The missing parcels of the last month arrived at last a couple of days ago - all posted mid December.
-
It's a bit bonkers, in the style of its time, but appealing all the same. Much better to see it converted into some kind of community resource than into fabulously overpriced flats.
-
Amazingly everything arrived this morning, at several houses in Corbyn St! We're also the tufnell park sorting office. So it looks as if the backlog if slowly shifting - fingers crossed
-
He will be missed, lovely man as well as excellent pies.
-
Nope. Still waiting for three pre-christmas parcels I know about, and who knows how many that I don't.
-
Yes! I went to the sorting office in Station Road a couple of days ago hoping someone might be willing to dig through the piles of parcels - not surprisingly they weren't, but they did assure me that the backlog was being cleared and parcels should …

Happy new year to all - let's hope it brings better times
-
In previous years I've also found it at the little florist on Stroud green road by the hanley road/ Stapleton hall crossroads
-
They had some at the Christmas tree shop in Finsbury park a couple of days ago - they gave me a piece for free. I also got some from the pet shop in Park Road the same day, smaller and £5.99, but a better deal than some others, clearly ...
-
But where are the Chef and the Shoegirl? Missed by my teen!
-
I used to go to motor continental but prices were extreme. After two years of £1k plus for service/ MOT I regretfully decided they were doing a classic rip off the ignorant woman number (that's me) and moved on.
-
Marlboro service station in Marlborough road my current preference. Friendly, quick, competent and reasonable for repairs, service and MOT.
-
My Plan A was me living in the station house! Ah well, it was always a long shot - good luck to Plan B...
-
Thanks for update, good to know he'll be back!
-
What has happened to the cheese stall?? Gone last week and apparently this week too!
