You need to go to the indian supermarkets on Turnpike Lane (the bit between Hornsey Rail & Turnpike Lane tube.
I get loads of Indian cooking stuff from there, and the veg is really good and cheap too.
We'll be letting our one-bedder on Oxford Road in about a month's time. would be good to have someone local in it. A local flat for local people.
Let me know if you're interested R_C.
I'm gonna get one of those 'Stinger' things they use on cop shows and throw that out across the Zebra crossing before I step out.
If drivers decide to carry on instead of stop they'll soon be needing 4 new tyres.
I think there's been a clean-up on Oxford Road yesterday - there were 6 piles between my flat and the Oxford/Woodstock Road junction.
But yesterday on my way home they'd all gone.
I'm from the Midlands, where Zebra crossings are well respected. I've found in my 15 years living in London that they're seen as 'optional' by a lot of London drivers, sorry to generalise, but I've had more near misses in London in the last month th…
Poo bikes. Raises a few questions.
1. Where do they empty them?
2. When they're full up doesn't it unbalance the bike?
3. Are the riders/operators paid danger money?
4. What happens if they crash?
I used to get £1.00 pocket money in the 80's.
but I never actually got the hard cash to spend how I liked, as my father used to run his sweet shop in a little village in Leicester.
I could take whatever I wanted from the shop, then the price of th…
aaah... penny sweets. I was telling Mrs L about the days when you could by half penny sweets.
She didn't even know about half pennies, let alone half penny sweets.
I know it's not local, but try Handy Candy you could get a decent amount for a coup…
Actually, the responsibility should lie not with the council, but the owner to clean up after their dogs.
The only offence I have been guilty of is throwing a filled dog poop bag in someone's wheelie bin on Lancaster Road early one morning. It was …
That's Jess - the barking-at-trains-dog - her owner is the guy who always has walking poles with him, like he's off up Ben Nevis.
I have no idea what the owner's names are, just their dog's names.
My Akita, Lily, is never off lead - but she does try to chase squirrels and takes me along for the ride too.
If the Akita is off lead then it's probably Benjy - Lily's boyfriend... the most docile, mild mannered Akita ever.
I often see the 3 legge…
It's a vegetarian dish that my mother used to make when we were kids and I absolutely hated it. It's called 'Karela' (pronounced kar-rhel-lah) and I don't blame you lot for not being able to finish it.
I remember we had to eat it with potatoes and …
I'm quite fond of Indian food (being Indian myself) and I find that Dhonia is very consistently good.
I'm a sucker for Indian takeaway, as it's not like any of the food 'real' Indian people eat at home in the UK, so getting a nice curry is actually…
Mrs. L has been on one a couple of weeks ago around 10:30am on a weekday (why wasn't she at work I'm asking myself).
She says the new trains have 'the voice' but now it tells you which side the doors will open.
Oh and she says they have a differen…
I think me and Mrs L (She's not a doctor like me) have been put off by seeing the crappy plastic chairs in the rear garden 'terrace' of The Triangle - you can see it from Parklands walk.
Could it really be a hidden gem, the reviews on SG.org seem t…
Oh.. does anyone know the bloke who usually hangs around Testhe co and café early in the mornings - about 6 foot tall, glasses like the bottoms from milk bottles?
Shouty man - leather jacket, balding afro.. yeah I know the one. I call him Leonard (not his real name, don't know what his real name is really).
I've seen him on more than one ocassion rolling a rather large spliff.
Always shouts at the dog when …
I'm not proud to have broken that story about the stabbing near Londis.
But I would like to say thanks to everyone that helps run this site and keep it going.
I've actually used sg.org in a pitch to the NHS Primary Care Trusts board as a great exa…
