I thought I recognised that birds eye view drawing. It was on the front cover of the Made In Stroud Green magazine, which circulated in 2017. No idea if it was commissioned specifically for the magazine but inside it says 'Cover illustration by Tess…

Another recommendation from us too! Claudio cleaned a badly blocked gutter for us which was causing a leak - very prompt and reliable and very reasonably priced.

Oh well this is a real bummer No cinema after all! https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/oct/04/cineworld-to-close-all-its-uk-cinemas-putting-5500-jobs-at-risk

Hi @LukeG - nope, I didn't call Tory voters racist. I used that word to predict the likely tone of a Johnson-Trump UK-US alliance if they both win. Are you seriously suggesting you don't think they are both racists? There's a ton of documentary evi…

Sorry for lengthy post - this thread gave me both insomnia and indigestion last night so I'm not at my best today... As I unfortunately learnt to my cost in 2010, voting for the Lib Dems is a vote for a Tory government. The LDs had great manifesto…

Brilliant tool - thanks for sharing!

@miss annie that's the magic of the Seven Sisters entrance - not enough pavement space for them to kettle commuters! But on the way home it would be lovely to walk out on the right side of the station again... Roll on December! @Arkady I knew you'…

Hi all, just to say that based on the thread above we booked Anni to do some painting work for us today and she was fab. Diligent, tidy, a gorgeous end result. Thanks again SGers for another winning tip. Xx

I'm also DYING to know when the entrance will open and my life can go back to being free of the depressing bridge... Anyone? @Arkady you sometimes have inside info, right?
-
I got an email from TFL saying that the station is now step-free from train to street - can anyone confirm that the lifts are operating? How's the flow of people working around them? (We're out of London for a while so can't check myself but am re…

Thanks everyone for taking time to reply with helpful advice! Much appreciated. We've got Ian Midson booked in and are really looking forward to getting the garden finally sorted. Another SG.org win!

FWIW, we got a ticket last year, appealed and won. It does happen!

So the bedrooms are back under the bridge. It's genuinely tragic that this is the best life choice available for some human beings in London in 2018. Any ideas on how we as a community might be able to make a permanent difference to the situatio…

Hi @Scruffy and all - I think that the crux of this protest has been about whether this is colonialism or not. The original article referenced a letter that the protesters had sent to David Lammy regarding not the FP branch but the newer second ven…

@tom_83 Happy to help but I'll DM you, since not ideal to post other people's contact info on a public forum
-
Hi @tom_83 - in the end we posted the job on MyBuilder and got several good quotes, are going ahead with the job starting Feb 15th. Hope that helps - best of luck!

@Scruffy - I completely feel your frustration, and I admire your arseholes of the world list from the depths of my being. What I would say is: it's fair enough for us folk of N4 to feel exasperated with the debatably mis-judged direction at which t…

Hi all - at risk of incurring the wrath of my community, I just wanted to point out a few things about this that bother me, especially in the light of Boris Johnson now commenting on this and making it an issue for Jeremy Corbyn to condemn. - The pr…

Hi there, I posted something similar here at the end of last year and was pointed to the Crouch End Parents group on FaceBook. I'm not actually on FB but my partner joined the group and posted a short summary of what we were looking for. We had resp…

Hi Arkady, thanks for posting this. It does talk about access via Goodwin Street though, not Wells Terrace. Do we still think there's going to be a Wells Terrace entrance eventually? Feel bad for all the new businesses on Clifton Terrace if that …

I signed the lighting petition. Is there anything else we as a community can do for Iuliana's friends and family? I know there's been a collection for a funeral service. Would it be appropriate to create some kind of memorial to her in the park? …

Coming back from zone 1 on the northbound Victoria line with a buggy, I kind of expected lift access from the tube to the street now the long-closed stairwell is reopened. The member of staff I spoke to said with great certainty that there are no p…

Thanks @trainspotter! Really kind of you to share, will definitely check out Little Stars and the websites.

Thank you - done!

Hi all - for me the sad thing is not necessarily that E Mono is amazing (although I admit I think it's way better than the run-of-the-mill kebab shops along the rest of SGR) but that they lost out on keeping their long-term premises because of redev…
-
Many thanks to you both! I'll pm you now, much appreciated.

Hi Arkady and all, this is great work and obviously really important - thanks for keeping us in the loop. I agree that, while I don't feel too passionately one way or another, the NF for Stroud Green is likely to have pretty different objectives …

...the most disappointing breakfast experience of all time was the Veggie Breakfast at Bon Matin! The menu says 'eggs any style with vegetarian sausage, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, fried potatoes, with toast and baked beans'. There was half a toma…

We're with Virgin, and pretty happy with it to be honest. There used to be occasional dropouts, esp on Sundays, but since we got a new router from them 6 months ago it's been great. According to that website we're getting 54 Mbps download speed, and…

We're on Virgin Media in Regina Road (also area 15) and we've had no problems at all recently but it used to be quite bad, with dropouts almost every weekend (Sundays especially bad). Ended up calling them and they said it was due to having an old r…
