Tried the beef shin tonight and it was spectacular! Looking forward to trying the aubergine and grilled cheese sandwiches soon. If only they had a side of mac and cheese balls!

Just received another of those Network Rail 'information' update letters. While the work is coming to an end (hurrah) they will be doing commissioning work every Saturday night until April. More fun and games!

Uncommon ground is a coffee roaster in Cardiff and is really good

I overlook the line and it is fine provided you do not mind the heavy freight trains which come through across the day including overnight. The Overground services are not very noisy and will be less so once they are no longer diesel. Otherwise it …

Move here 3 years ago from South London

Why are we looking for a new victim? Anyway, it appears that the sensible thing for the sake of the nation is a cross-party commission to take forward the BREXIT negotiations - then we can have another election. There is no mandate for anything.

What exactly is a Labour flavoured gin? Best outcome from this is that the young are now engaged politically - politics can change things (such as Brexit). The key is whether everyone who came out and voted stay engaged. I am calling it the REVEN…

We had some pizzas there last week - ok and probably better than your typical takeaway but could be better.

Hettie has a relocation sale on - 25% off pretty much everything. She is actually moving to LA.
-
Odd Stewart - as part of the works they renewed the tracks and relaid the tracks under the ferme park road tunnel. This has significantly reduced the instability and therefore both noise and movement levels have reduced. The freight trains are run…

It is probably a bit late now that the fencing was installed but NR should of informed you in advance last Autumn. The residents in our road complained and they installed green chain link fencing instead which was better all round. Suggest you dro…
-
It was clear that NR wanted the extra funds as EMono stated they were unlikely to go back once the work was done and the for rent signs went up at the beginning of the year. You will know when the area is fully past the gentrification stage when cit…

So they're still open though only a few days per week - must go back next week.

Don't worry Gardener Joe, the only bad people appears to be anyone who worked in the Obama administration (and possibly David Walliams who even is mother was not enamoured with the Nightly Show!) Looking forward Actualy to the next chapter as the s…

I would have a look at the stalls at the Primrose Hill market also Saturday. A deli, potentially drawn from the 2 on Stroud Green Road would do well, Wildes Cheese is brilliant and as discussed above perhaps some gifts too. Good luck and we will c…

Gustavo's appears ready to become a new pizza joint called 'Pizza X Drink' who have aplace in Acton. there has been some action at Traiteur but possibly only to use the kitchen. hop smith would be ideal if Max wants to expand his empire and have a…

It will not be easy - poxy you are right that is the most likely construction approach - I was just referring to whether they will retain some pedestrian access for most of the period the vehicle bridge is being lifted. I think the one lift may be …
-
I think you are closer to the truth Poxy - if they are going to lift the bridge by 300mm it will be a drawn out affair. I am assuming they could do it one lane at a time but probably it is a full closure (keeping a pedestrian path open to allow acc…

access to the park from THE STATION could also be better or at least more attractive. There seems to be little progress after the consultation on play spaces other than the work near the pond last summer. The Rowans site cannot be the only reason …

i would email the Councillor adding the points raised her including the damaged fence.

Interesting article on demographics and Brexit voting. In effect, the 3 main factors that influenced how you voted was level of education, age and ethnicity. Nothing too surprising Though the line from one leader of the Leave campaign was truly …

There are some odd gaps in getting access to the park along Endymon Road - people have torn out a bit of the fence near the new river outlet rather than go that extra 50m down. Not sure if the access point is better there or as you say @Trainspott…

Changing on the platforms should be ok, it's getting in and out that will be the problem. I always try to get there before 08:00 or from about 09:00 onwards - the other problem since late November is the IR related issues which have led to overti…
-
Typical of NR - I think that it was always the plan to finish aspects of the work past February but no weekend service to the end of the year is taking the biscuit. Something does need to change with how rail projects are delivered - the problem…

Indeed - revolution of the chattering classes!
-
@arkady a meeting soon would be good. Let me know if you want any help arranging
-
Incontro is so good must find out fromSara what she is planning n doing next if they are indeed closing
-
Arkady - explain to me again what the impact of being not within the boundary would be for someone in say Woodberry Down?
-
An enlightened stroudgreen.org member hurrah! Also a bit of a plug for Arkady who I believe is a regular contributor (or at least was) to the blog site.

Grenners, you are right that Incontro is more expensive then say Pappagonne but the food is seriously good, of the quality of some of the best places in central London. The decor is a bit grey and they would benefit with a friendlier branding but S…
