I think this is great news. I'm quite sure most people that don't clear up after their dogs do so because they are quite confident that no-one bothers to enforce the fines. Hopefully if patrols like this are carried out every now and then they wi…

Although I don't have a dog now, I've owned several Rottweilers and German Shepherds, have worked as a dog trainer for various dog homes, as well as working at The Kennel Club for a few years (around the time that the dangerous dog act was being deb…

I'm counting down to the start of the asparagus season, I absolutely love it. The thing with asparagus though is that it deteriorates really quickly and as you mentioned the season is only about 6 weeks. Every year we go here to the Vale of Evesha…

Dorothy - can't comment on the noise, but my old boss lived in Perth Road, and had serious problems with subsidence (and had to have the house underpinned twice) - so if you're buying a property there make sure you get a good survey, and find out ho…

Slats, they've been re-decorating, so the bare walls had probably just been stripped ready for new wallpaper. I haven't been in there for a couple of months myself, but last time I was there they were part were through and it was beginning to look …

It's absolutely just another excuse to extort even more money from motorists. I think the council realise that after a while we all get used to what the hours or operation and rules are, so they like to change them and extend the areas on a regular…

St Peter's is a lovely church. My nieces go to the school there, so I've been there a few times for their baptisms, first holy communions, etc. I think all the surrounding roads are nice too. My favourite road I think is Japan Crescent.

I really miss your retail shop for art supplies. I know it's not far to Cass Art in Angel, but it was lovely having somewhere close to pop to when I ran out of stuff.
-
Nicole I'm also on the wrong side to help and as I said, have limited experience on the subject - seems to me that you either need to get out and ask the questions to people on the street as @krappyrubsnif suggests, or if you are determined to do y…

Gosh you've come to the right place - dog shit is one of our specialist subjects on here. It might be worth doing a search of the site as you'll find lots of posts on the subject. I'd offer to help with the interview but I think there are others o…

A lot of the dog rescue places take bed linen and towels to use for beds. They often want old newspapers too.
-
well done you for not letting them get away with it. Remind me not to get on the wrong side of you after you've had a few drinks
-
yes it's a bit of a shame - I did the first week and then just haven't been around since. I would have gone today, but I've actually sold out of cards as we had a charity sale in my office during the week. I don't know if Bee is planning to do any…

I think we need to get back to important matters such as dog poo and helicopters anyway......
-
I'm with Misscara too. Instead of getting lots of their friends to post incoherent praise on here, why don't BBM take some of our comments on board and use the feedback in a positive way (as other local business such as Season's do). It wouldn't…
-
it said exactly the same as we all have - it would be better not to have the CPZ, but due to the domino effect, there was no escaping it, and those that had been opposed to it originally were having to change their views as more and more streets bec…
-
I agree - thanks Bee for making us all so welcome I'm away this weekend, but will definitely be back with my cards and gift tags the following week. I think once the word gets round it's going to be very successful, everyone had some beautiful th…

I would have popped up to join you if I'd seen this earlier, but hope you had a nice time. See you later
-
I agree gardener-joe. I feel that most of those who made negative comments about BBM did so in a constructive way, I've only had a coffee from there once, and it was so awful that I haven't bought one since. I do like the cakes and even now and t…

Hmm, the Queens looks tempting. I also noticed last night that Mexicali have a sign saying they're open on Christmas day - I'm not so sure I fancy burrito's for Christmas lunch though.....
-
Not Christmas ornaments, but I'll be selling handmade Christmas gift tags and cards, as well as a selection of other cards. I'm a bit worried that it doesn't seem to have been advertised anywhere though - is anyone going to come?
-
I use Boots in Muswell Hill too, and agree that the lady there is very helpful and seems extremely knowledgeable. I've had all sorts of problems with my eyes and have had lens replacement surgery in one eye and she immediately knew what I was talki…

We went to one of those all you can eat buffets in Chinatown for lunch last week with my stepson. They made us pay the minute we walked through the door, and I found it a bit amusing that they'd added a 12% service charge, so we were expected to pa…
-
What a lovely idea - hope you find somewhere suitable (I'm afraid I don't know anyone with a ground floor flat - my place is even worse than yours for stairs!)
-
It's not as simple as being 'forced to pay like the rest of us'. I had to park my car in someone else's road for several weeks because I didn't yet have the right paperwork to get a permit. It's not that straightforward when you move into the area…
-
Julie I've re-read your message several times and don't get what you are trying to say. I thought there were restrictions throughout the CPZ when Arsenal play? There certainly are in Victoria Road where I live which catches many people unaware (no…
-
yes I'd like to know how to make pastel de nata too
-
I agree with you rainbow. I know of people living on Stroud Green Road, in nice ground floor one bed flats that have never worked a day in their life. Meanwhile, even though I have a relatively well paid job, I can't afford a flat to myself and ha…

You may be lucky and find a homeowner privately renting out a spare room that's not too greedy, but even so, I think £500 including bills is a bit optomistic for the area.

I can understand the need for some sort of restriction within a reasonable distance of the tube stations - you don't want people driving in from miles away and parking their cars in residential streets and hopping on the tube, but all you need to pr…
