I'm loosley 'for' events and such like in London. Because I don't have to stay here for the longer term. I don't have to consider the welfare of my offspring or the long term damage to the surroundings, because it is unaffordable to become a perma…
I had Gareth come round to tidy mine, very nice chap. In Walthamstow but he'll come and give you a quote as he is in the area often. There's another thread recently I think. I was pleased with the job anyway (clearance/tidy etc).

I just came home early from work to find an elderly lady with a pram going through my bins in my front garden. She was looking for "metal, metal".
This is what Brown and Osborne have done to some pensioners!!
That is great news, I guess they realised people were mostly avoiding FCC due to these bottlenecks (me, for example).
It does show up the FCC twitter feed as being plain bollocks too, as they have always contended that 'FCC trains are not held up …
Yes he did say he was reluctant to cut everything back this time of year (they were still at the green berry stage) but it was for the best. The thing climbing the tree in the second pic is the bramble from the other side of the garden.
Had a friend of a friend who does landscaping come and do my modest garden. I wanted it completely cropped back so I didn't have to worry about it for a few months.
He can do more delicate stuff though I just wanted it completely chopped, but he …
Can I chime in here too please, am looking for a local accountant if anyone can recommend.
Note to any tenants who move around - don't forget to keep HMRC informed of your current home address. They pick addresses and names out of thin air appar…
The guy in the SnowWhite shop said that the dry cleaners at no. 28 didn't actually do any cleaning, he just took it in, then took it up the road to SnowWhite.
Was running down it this morning. Unfortunately some fly-tippers have been at it at the gate in from Blythwood Road, plenty of old crap, bedding, flooring etc dumped in the bushes.
Well that was a bombscare of an organisation. Forcing everyone out via Manor House? Pushed to the little swing park near the cafe, helping people over the hip-high fence then walking back to Endymion road, only to be met by police telling us to 'w…
I'm going today, and though excited to live so close to a venue, agree that the crowd for this and the Roses have been mostly beered up lads who should know better. Pints of piss sure to be flying this evening
What have we become...
I also agree …
The gate on Upper Tollington/Oakfield was open for the Stone Roses, and they have set up what appears to be the same 'ticket entrance' gate near the Zebra crossing by the cafe, so seems reasonable to assume it will be open.
@Miss Annie, the obsession you mention is more a desire for self-reliance and self-determination, which is now purposefully being denied generations of reasonably well-off working/middle-class Londoners, to repay banks their losses from 2008- (see H…
@Miss Annie, being also in the same demographic as you, it's become clear that political parties are not interested in targetting our votes as they have very little to sell to us directly.
While parents may be interested in school places, or car …
@Ali That Labour plan doesn't seem particularly useful. Rents will still go up in line with 'market value' and 'market conditions'. The spiralling cost of shelter in the UK (thanks to the actions of the last two governments) will mean this plan wi…
I don't think there's an anti-union bias on the thread, @northnineteen. There's an anti-this-strike-by-this-one-union angle.

Perhaps the next generation of politician (which BenMyring may be) will finally realise that the country is unaffordable for the average person, and take radical action in the future.
Seeing politicians profit from property (much of which we paid…
