Jesus. I hope they sue the asshole for the cost of their property. I went past there the other day and wondered what had happened.
-
Bloody hell. It's getting quite stabby around here.
-
I quite like that idea but I also liked Brick & Olive. It was homely and felt like an unpretentious community gathering place.
-
It appears not.
-
Good! Thanks for the update.
-
I have watched it. Didn't notice that! it's pretty good. Not really a hospital horror - more a feminist sci-fi based on a book by Naomi Alderman.
-
To my surprise I once again agree with @grenners (and @fwiw). Sadly, this is all too plausible.

Went there for lunch on Sunday. Well, tried. For a busy-ish Sunday there was one waiter and one person behind the bar taking both food orders and doing all drinks. The kitchen was clearly understaffed too as when we finally got to the front of the q…

The use of the stages is actually a really good idea. That said, overall I still hate the festival being in the park. The villain is not so much Haringey council which is desperately trying to raise revenue however it can (and to be fair the park sh…

Oh bugger. The tennis courts have just been repainted so there is some money being spent on the park, but the disruption is massive. I bloody hate it.
-
True to both! But moving them is quite a schlep - they are heavy and hard to move when locked.
-
Someone on my street whatsapp (Corbyn St) is looking. I will ask if I can DM you their number, or I will send them this link.

I have used micycle for services, Butternut Bikes (Crouch End, bottom of hill) good for my Tern, as they are a Tern dealer, and Fettle has changed some tyres for me, as has Finsbury Park Cycles. I really like micycle.
-
Me too. it's a clever scheme with lots of wins.
-
Chitchat on the Corbyn St WhatsApp group says it will be a pub with a focus on food. I think it might be owned by Greene King.
-
i can't believe it wasn't me. I remember looking at the estate agent listing when it was for sale and thinking that it was very overpriced. Perhaps the owners spent a huge amount on the renovation but I think they over-capitalised for the area.
-
@grenners, I am sure you are. Again, wholehearted agreement from me.
-
Given that there is a fairly significant overall reduction in traffic, plus an increase in more active modes of transport (which are less polluting and healthier, thus money-saving as well as bringing lifestyle benefits), yes, I think so.
-
@HolbornFox, something on which we agree!
-
@Holborn Fox, "That article from Forbes acknowledges that there are studies providing the opposite of what they have made up, I mean researched." I don't think it does acknowledge that (that I could see - happy to be corrected), just that people di…

The evidence suggests that boundary roads experience a very marginal increase in traffic. There is a net reduction in traffic as people choose other forms of transport. "A large study of “low traffic neighborhoods” in London shows that these LTNs r…

I don't know the details about the Haringey LTNs but generally the evidence in their favour is pretty good. https://www.sustrans.org.uk/for-professionals/infrastructure/an-introductory-guide-to-low-traffic-neighbourhood-design/an-introductory-guid…

I think Highbury Corner is massively improved, from a cycling and a driving perspective.
-
@fwiw, that's true. I don't want this forum to go away!
-
I think this forum has probably been supplanted to some degree by street WhatsApp groups. It has in my case (Corbyn St).
-
The place at top of SGR near Thai Granary has done some good repairs for me eg fixing moth holes, alterations etc.

It was a splendid event, as always. To my knowledge no mention was made of Her Maj, nor her errant son.
