I'm pretty sure I've seen the cubes for sale at Al Bahia on Blackstock Road. One of the first few shops on your left if you're coming from Seven Sisters Road.
Our son is currently at Stroud Green preschool, and we've just put it down as our first choice for reception next year. He loves it there, we've been very impressed with his nursery teachers (more so than those at the overly expensive Asquith nurser…
Our son (3) currently goes to Asquith, though he's about to move to SG nursery now he's old enough. We've liked it ok, but they've gone through so many management changes over the past two years that it's definitely affected how well it's run. A lot…
Yes, Rainbow is closing, I was told because they weren't making enough money to cover costs. From what I gather SG school have promised Rainbow staff other jobs within the school, but there will be no provision for 2 year olds.
I'm heartbroken. As an EU immigrant it's hard not to take it personally, but most of all I'm worried for what it means for this country I've called home for the last 12 years. We seem more divided than ever before.
No discussions are visible (to me, at least) when not logged in. Am I doing something wrong, or is it deliberate? You won't get any new people joining if they can't see anything on the site.
Another ringing endorsement here. We tried our first loaf yesterday and it was delicious, definitely better than anything I've found locally. We'll be regular customers from now on.
105 Stroud Green Rd is the former Dr Shah practice, I'm afraid. How recent was your bad experience? I think some people had bad experiences with his immediate replacement, but the practice was taken over again a few years ago. I have no complaints a…
Went there for lunch on Sunday and had a great burrito. The little one loved the buttermilk fried chicken. Friendly service too.
Not sure how easy/costly it is to work with Deliveroo, but I bet this place would be a popular choice if they joined.…
We've used Ladycabs (ladies and gents nowadays I think?) whenever we've needed a cab with a child seat, including to get home from hospital after our son was born. They've always been on time with the car seat already fitted, with very friendly and …
Not quite Stroud Green (unless you count the fact it's delivered to your house) but still local as based in Holloway, we tried a Homeburger delivery a few weeks ago and were impressed. A Meatwagon/liquor/mission style of burger, properly (meaning me…
It's called Robocoq. Chicken confit, chicken liver parfait, chicory, possibly chicken gravy mayo? Maybe string fries as well? There was a crunchy aspect to it, but I can't remember for sure. Anyway, it was sublime. We also tried the chicken skin cri…
A classic croque monsieur is just ham and cheese, surely? French wikipedia agrees with me, and only mentions the addition of béchamel as one of many possibly additions for fancier versions. That also solves the mustard question.
To get back to the o…
Thanks @perflexed. Voting is mandatory where I'm from, and all electronic nowadays, leaving no option for a spoilt ballot, whereas I strongly feel the option should be available to people. As I'm now voting from abroad I get sent a paper ballot (whi…
Do spoiled ballots get counted? If so, that's a final option for people who really can't find anyone to vote for/disagree with the current electoral system to make a point. I wish I were allowed to vote today.
We're all a bit quick to judge the person who posted that on Freecycle. For all we know the child has sensory processing issues, and they're just trying to find something their kid can stand touching/playing with.
Glad to see this place get a good review, it's been rather quiet whenever I've been at weekend lunchtimes (guessing it's a lot busier at night?) and I really want it to do well as I'm rather addicted to their sandwiches! The temporary lamb raita spe…
It's not by the same people as Bar Esteban, but rather the owners of La Bota and Pradera, I thought?
They are open at lunchtime on weekends, but when we went they only had a limited menu of bigger dishes then, tapas only in the evening, which was…
Thanks for the photos. I had no idea the Network Rail site was so large. Guess it won't be that long until another big development is planned there.
Looks like there's space for a large garden in that student development. It better be nice, at th…
I don't know about yesterday's problems, but this morning's were caused by a person unwell on a train at Euston, leading to stationary southbound Victoria line trains and crowds filling up the platform. I gave up after ten minutes and went up to the…
Having been taught nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative on 'the continent', a quick search came up with this interesting wikipedia entry on declension order in different countries.
After two years of Latin and four of Greek in high sch…
