When my brother comes to visit from Liverpool, he always wants to go to Pappagone. He loves the lasagne. We have lots of good restaurants on our door and places full of character. What other area can boast so many wig shops and a shop that's called …
I looked up a website, which gave you milk deliveries according to your postcode. It's probably called something like milkdeliveries.com. I get my milk delivered by Dairy Crest in Edmonton. They deliver lots of other stuff too.
Our neighbours ge…
I've only ever sung an 80s singstar which had Atomic by Blondie on it. I got superstar status. I must look into the indie one!
How brilliant, hearing The Smiths coming out of a car. Although This Charming Man isn't my favourite Smiths track....b…
Yes, I have looked into the history of the house I'm living in. In 1891, the family who lived there had a dad who was a secretary to a public company and in 1901, a Miss Fysh lived of her own means. Jammy thing, I can't quite do that. I haven't look…
The Front Room was selling alcohol so I hope it was licensed. It was open on Saturday evening so I don't know if that's a regular thing or if it was a special night for ukelele lovers? April May the acoustic folk singer left a lot to be desired thou…
I went on Saturday night and watched a ukele band and an acoustic folk singer. The ukele band were great, singing Love Cats, Satellite of Love and many other gems. The food wasn't too bad and quite reasonably priced.
A friend of mine went past and said all she could read was the word Peace on a banner. It looked like a demonstration regarding the Iraq War. Don't know anything other than that.
I've been to the exhibition but luckily before the fun weather. You get given a coloured sticker to put on a map to show where you live.
Campbell Road was the rough road and it was renamed and is now the street Whadcote Street.
Has anyone ev…
I just find that the dip and olives along with the bread are quite filling. The veggie fiesta is massive and you have to be really hungry to get through part of it...Delicious though..
Definetly walk. By the time everyone gets on, the bus gets stuck in traffic, you're already almost there....Or take the pleasant stroll through Charteris Road for the scenic route...
Well hopefully they'll have my garden on it in one of the scenes with the driving instructor....which is very true to life as the road is often visited by driving instructors....
I'm a Radio 6 fan but I miss Gideon Coe in the morning, since they moved him to the graveyard slot. I've been listening to cheesy tunes today on Real Radio....I drew the line at Wet, Wet, Wet....
As for Meat is Murder in the cardshop, that must h…
The same here, William, was always a favourite of mine especially after the classic performance on Top of the Pops. Stop Me is another classic with There is a Light in there as well. Too many to choose from. Sounds like a good half hour you had with…
I've only ever seen the woman off Family Affair, the Channel 5 soap, Sadie, I think her character was. She was also in I Claudius. She was going to Londis and I've seen Doctor Legg...I saw Alison Steadman and the fella who was the vicar from Bad Gir…
I saw it too and was horrified. I presume it's just lazy journalism and the fact that he doesn't live in Bishop's Avenue means he must live in an unfashionalbe area. I found it quite insulting to McAvoy and Duff. First they say they live in a grotty…
It makes the history of Finsbury Park exhibition at the gallery in Finsbury Park look quite tame. You only get to put a sticker on the map showing where you live.....
It does seem like we're in the wrong business. I can't wait for his next exhibi…
I used to buy compost and biodegrable food bags at Chrysos but he never had anything else I needed. I tried to buy things but he would say no. He did have an interesting mix of things but not stuff I needed. The other hardware shop by Cats used to h…
Yes, The Park Tavern on Tollington Park. They have a woman who serves behind and drinks in front of the bar who's a Patti Smith look-a-like, a man who falls asleep in his beer. The woman who owns the place is very friendly though. The Charteris side…
I'm a new member. I don't have a dog, but one cat. I've lived off Stroud Green Road for 2 and a bit years now. I love the area. Out of all the pubs, I usually go to The Noble but when I'm feeling daring I go to the Tavern. I love Peteks and Pappagon…
I have always found Petek to be excellent. I've been there many times and only had a bad experience once, that was due to it being really busy. It's got a great vegetarian choice, the staff have always been very friendly, the food excellent.
It…
