  • It wsan't such a problem for the runners - we were past it in a flash, and if anything swerving round it made the course a few metres shorter - but I couldn't believe people were having picnics right next to it at the weekend. The smell would have p…

  • Are Tosscat's posts so hard to beat?
    in Woody's Comment by mapsa January 2010
  • I agree. A Sainsburys up the road is going to force that Tescos - probably the worst I've ever been in - to seriously raise its game. If they continue to offer poor service, empty shelves, and mile-long queues, Sainsburys will slaughter them. I hope.

  • Copycara - that'll probably be the local Ronnie Wood lookalike, often seen running over to Londis from the Nickleby to buy cigarettes.

  • Ian - I'm pretty sure Tosscat is right. It is only an invitation to treat under English law, they don't have to sell it to you at that price. You could report them to Trading Standards for breaching the CPA, but if it the wrong price was just a mist…

  • I've done it a few times. The prize is good (bar tab in the region of £70). And it is pretty popular, so get there early. HOWEVER: 1) It is a bit easy. Quite often intelligence-insulting oh-god-everyone-knows-that easy. 2) It doesn't have a music …

  • I bought some Schwarz asafoetida from Tesco on SGR about 6 months ago. Funnily enough, I still have 99% of it left. It stinks.

  • I'm glad she has been found. You will take down all the posters from the lampposts etc now, will you?

  • I've got a great idea: why don't they erect a phone mast on the covered reservoir?

  • David - speaking of Mole Men, I noticed that the old Edmund Trebus place in Crouch End is currently [up for sale](http://www.greene.co.uk/home/property/220499/for-sale-in-crouch-end). I'm tempted to arrange a viewing just to check out that "good cel…

  • A £78 bar tab. (So I'd probably settle for an I *heart* N4 mug/tote bag)
    in Bike shops Comment by mapsa September 2009
  • Yes, that's the one. Hooray! I'm on a roll this week, won the Dairy's pub quiz on Tuesday too. I expect the prize for David's quiz will be even more generous...

  • I'll have a punt at Albert Rd. Near the junction with Victoria Road. Is that Upper East side? I forget the boundaries.

  • Benny - sadly, the Jazz Cafe hardly ever puts on any jazz! The London Jazz Festival is in November, good lineup at the South Bank Centre this year. If you like a bit of free improv jazz, Cafe Oto near Vortex puts on some great gigs. I'm spending t…

  • "The ladies often just in bras and shorts/knickers/slips - and the men stripped to the waist" How little has changed - sounds like the seating area outside the White Lion of Mortimer on a sunny day

  • Don't know if this is still the case, but when I lived in Scotland about a decade ago there was no such thing as private wheel clamping. Under Scots Law it was considered theft to clamp someone's car, as you are depriving them of the opportunity to …

  • I got free dips and baklava. The food was delicious and the staff super-friendly. And I'm not just saying that because I got free dips and baklava.

  • Saw a big bill in Lynne F's for a supplier called "Banners" and I thought "AHA! Slap up Crouch End dinner for Lynne, charged to expenses!" But it was Banners Business Services. She had bought some stationery.

  • I was walking up Park Road towards the Victoria Stakes when a car drove past driven by an Elvis impersonator, blasting out Jailhouse Rock. Registration number was ELV51. Anyone else seen him?
