@Arkady just the fitness centre. There' s been a 2-month stay of execution - accompanied by a hefty hike in the fees - so we'll see what happens then.
-
@AtomGallery thank you. I've been offered one from just round the corner, but can I come back to you if it's not strong enough? Much appreciated
-
Thanks for the offer, @conformable_kate, but I'll be piling about 300 bricks - I don't think a fence panel will cope!
-
Ah, that explains the metal mesh which has appeared over the doors and windows.
-
Thank you! I'll text you
-
@editrix thanks for your reply! I shall message you
-
Anyone having a power cut this evening? 4 flats in my building have lost electricity.
-
@Jennymc99 yes, I would still recommend Amy. I haven't had any electrical problems recently, but I've recommended her to a couple of friends over the last few months, and they were really happy with her work.
-
Of course the RM was unprepared for a pandemic. Everyone was unprepared. How do you prepare for 30-60% of your staff shielding/self-isolating/being sick, with almost no notice? Posties can't work from home; and security vetting means they can't ramp…

Thank you both!

If anyone would like to drop off food donations today, I'll be outside the church hall on Stapleton Hall Road - next to St Aidan's - from 1pm - 3.30pm. 2m distance will be observed at all times, and I'll put up a sign, probably on the St Aidan's fen…

@Agaton Sax yes, they collect from Londis and the Sainsbury's Local opposite the Old Dairy. But those haven't yielded much lately; on Wednesday, the Sainsbury's one was particularly limited, because the store has had difficulty in keeping itself sto…

@therattle I have asked about financial donations. It is supposed to be possible, via the Parochial Council, so I've asked for bank details; if need be, I'll help them set up a PayPal account or similar. Will come back to you when I have some answer…

Most Sundays, they have 6-10 people (service users) collecting food. Last Sunday - over 25. And now that Islington Foodbank has closed, numbers are likely to remain high.
-
Urban Native has been doing this since 23/3, and they have a team of locals dealing with deliveries.
-
Solved - the Baptist Church on SHR. They've just switched the damn thing off.
-
There are some Kippers in the neighbourhood, I discovered at the last election. That was a surprise!
-
The burst main is in Brownswood, but it affected supply in several postcodes.
-
The latest update from Thames Water is that they expect to have it repaired by noon today.
-
On a cheerier note, I went past Yak & Yeti today, and saw on their door glass a certificate that they had won best curry house in North London at the London Curry Awards last month. And I have a Deliveroo voucher which expires tomorrow... I feel…

Oh man, I loved Roberta! I love Pappagone too, and am really disappointed to hear of your experience, Bee. Is that person still working there? I know you haven't been back, but have you seen them when you've been passing by? I am of colour also - ne…

There was a team of park keepers in FP way back when - then budget cuts dropped that to one (Leroy, I think) with some support from a roving team who covered all the parks in the borough. Leroy was (and probably still is!) a lovely chap, but 1 man c…

@gardener-joe the first one has run - a couple of friends rode on it! I'd post a photo if I could remember how!
-
Apparently Mr Corbyn likes to obsess over the number of people in his constituency who have signed the Revoke Article 50 petition. So if you're in Islington North, please do sign and/or keep sharing!
-
Now almost 5.4m on the petition!
-
Also olive oil & balsamic vinegar...
-
Cigarettes and alcohol are legal, and yet there is still criminal activity around them e.g. counterfeiting and smuggling.
-
https://amyselectrics.co.uk - based in Hornsey. Amy is quite possibly the best electrician I've known, and I'd rather wait for her than get someone else!
-
Agreed, Ali - the chef there was outstanding.
-
I took the lift from the northbound tube today - exciting! But the only levels it serves are -1 (tube platform) and 0 (ground level). So I think your description above can't be quite right, @Arkady ?
