Went in there on Friday night with a mate from Crouch End who'd never been in there before. The main courses were badly overpriced for what they were. Fish and chips at £13 was taking the piss, and not that good quality at all. But friendly enough a…

There's a fair bit on the thameslink programme website . Two depots are being built, one at Hornsey, one at Three Bridges, so there isn't an immediate need to transfer stock between the two lines before they're connected, although they can fairly ea…

The new depot got planning approval. Finsbury Park doesn't get linked into Thameslink until Jan 2018, a small chance that it might be a bit earlier than that, but unlikely. A consultation on where the new services will go from Finsbury Park to will…

Very good coffee - they clearly make the stuff with care. Hopefully they can move to a bit of a bigger place soon, taking over the old bakery next to nandos would be ideal for them, they'd pick up custom very quickly. Especially if they open early f…

They're building a new tesco express store

Yes

I'm with Idoru. I've got this vision of a late bar, some kind of funky jazz playing, £5 tall drinks. Bourbon, but no mojitos, served immediately by professional bar staff, there for the tips (it'd be rude not to tip in this place), and making sure y…

Although this might not be in the spirit of London Heathside club, it would be absolutely brilliant to open access to the roof area again, and put some kind of bar on top. Fantastic views over north London, no neighbours to piss off, and would proba…

There's a fair bit which "goes on" in the evenings around the bridge which goes over UTP, but that seems to stop around midnight or so.
-
If the artics / fixed length trucks are stopping on the northbound side of the road, then they'd either have to come from Morris Place via Clifton Road or under the bridges. I don't think either is impossible, but could seriously bugger up the traff…

I'm with Islington on the sainsbury's application. There is absolutely no way two double deck buses could pass an artic on that section of road. I have doubts about the accuracy of that plot - convenient that they show shorter single decker buses an…

Sainsbury's is a rip-off. I've worked out that virtually everything I buy is cheaper at the Nisa store near the station than at that Sainsbury's - just goes to show how much money they make out of us :-(
-
What we need is a good old fashioned town hall meeting to thrash it out. I know we don't have a town hall, but we could hold it at Camp Stroud Green instead.
-
But that seems to be the case in a lot of pubs around here (WLM excepted). I suppose Nandos would probably be about £9 for the same, maybe I've got cheap expectations.
-
Since it had been a couple of years since I'd last eaten in there, I dropped in last night for some food. Had a veggie burger and chips (with aoili - what's the point of aoili? It's difficult to spell and it's just garlic mayonnaise). Much better…

Nice cakes and tiles Lots of prams Horrifically bad coffee

It's worse than that. If you get off at Finsbury Park (touching out), then walk up to Crouch Hill to get the train afterwards within - I think - an hour, when you touch in there you'll get charged again as if you're exiting at zone 3 station even th…

Liverpool's a complete rip-off for hotels if Liverpool or Everton are playing at home ... One thing worth seeing is the Williamson Tunnels - there's a weblink on the internet somewhere. I went on a guided tour, the history of it all is pretty int…
-
OK, techie explanation: The difference is that LUL stations are supposed to be manned throughout opening hours (as with London Overground stations), so there's some kind of checking that everyone "touches out" and gets a fare deducted from their …

It's much easier being abusive to a self-service check-out. They don't talk back or threaten to call the police so much.
-
I thought there was something weird about the crossing as I walked past it tonight - the yellow lights on top of the poles aren't working. Probably explains why someone else nearly got run over as I passed it.
-
If you're ever really, really bored getting a Victoria Line train south from FP, you can tell how they converted the old "Northern City" line tunnel to the Victoria Line even with your eyes closed. As you go south, after about 20 or 30 seconds of ac…

I took my football team on a SG pub crawl a couple of years ago. Starting off with pints of Greene King for 99p at the White Lion guaranteed the rest of the evening was going to go well. Didn't like the Kings Head in CE that much, they're not very f…

There's a fair bit of Stroud Green in London River. I think it starts off at the Old Dairy crossroads and I think a laundry on SGR is used for one of the scenes.
-
Whoops, yes must be hydrangeas. One day I'll have a garden and I'll actually learn the names of different plants. I'm much better at recognising vegetables.
-
I thought Rhododendrons (sp?) had different coloured flowers depending on whether it was acid or alkaline soil?
-
Driving along UTP a couple of days ago (from SGR), there is very poor visibility for drivers of people about to use the crossing. Some kind of build-out of the pavement on the northern side would help enormously.
-
Well, there's now an electronic 30mph speed sign on UTP on the Lancaster Road side of the bridge ...
-
I know this isn't the advice you'd want, but I'd take the car to a local garage (not a dealer) to get it double checked. I don't know that much about cars, but having to replace all the brake *discs* after six years is a bit surprising. It may be th…

I've just come back from Sainsburys Harringay, where they've got a new deal on cans of sweetcorn. They're 35p each, or you can get a three pack "bigger pack, better value" for £1.17.
