Justifiably furious. It is absolutely not there on the event page. But I Googled 'newroz haringey council', and it seems that they did apply for a traffic management order - but I've checked all the 'Various Roads' files back to the 27th Jan and I h…
AHA!! Got it. Today the Kurdish festival of Newroz was held in the park. Your visitors are not the first people to be caught out by the council's failure to publicise it; see this from 2013: http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showtopic=79922. The c…

I couldn't find anything for the park, and I checked the librar…
The signs at the entrance to CPZs have space for temporary placards alert drivers to event days, and those usually go up a few days beforehand. But I've been out and about today - on foot than by car - and haven't noticed that there has been any eve…
You could also try Mike on 07397 143868. He used to do my windows when I had lots, & charged around £65 for inside & out on a 4-bed house (9 sash windows, 2 triple bays, 1 set of French doors, 1 door with lots of little glass panels, the gla…
Ooh, green! Now makes me think that maybe the background colour should change every quarter to mark the seasons - green for spring, yellow for summer, bronze for autumn & ice blue for winter! *ducks the airborne contents of Arkady's desk*
Just read this on HoL; slightly confused, as someone else told me a couple of weeks ago that the works were ahead of schedule! http://www.harringayonline.com/forum/topics/reopening-the-barking-gospel-oak-line
Pricewise, I think Season is very reasonable, especially for the excellent quality - just looked at their website, which shows roast lamb at £13.95, roast chicken £12.50, nut roast £10. The White Lion has chicken at £13.50.
@krappyrubsnif, I too am a seeker after the perfect Sunday roast! My top recommendation is Season - v. tasty, absolutely no danger of anything being warmed over, and can have their mini-doughnuts for pud. They do beer from Clapton Craft now as well.…
I didn't think it was linked to Cats - I thought it had something to do with a Thai restaurant of the same name in Muswell Hill. I vaguely remember that there was a thread about it a couple of years ago. The internet suggests that the restaurant has…
@therattle, just to check - it's ok to drive past the 'Road Closed' sign, isn't it? I hope so, because I did it a few weeks ago to get to the car wash! I did not, however, drive the wrong way under the bridge...
Re Hopsmiths, as djmattyoung says, Late Knights went under. While some of their pubs are still operating under a new brand, the Hopsmiths was considered too much of an outlier, geographically, for the new people to want to continue with. I guess the…
I contacted Streetlink about the rough sleepers under the bridge on 2nd Jan; so I was a bit surprised to see that they were still under the bridge this morning. The young male+female couple weren't actually at their site, but they'd made their bed n…
@jacula, I've alerted a couple of local dog-loving friends to your post, and they seem very interested! Could you PM me your number/e-mail so I can pass it on to them?
We installed a new window (double glazed wooden sash) in my old house (Haringey side of SG) in 2012, and didn't even think to apply for planning permission since it was replacing a previous window. We didn't have a Fensa certificate either, because …

Well-remembered, @miss annie ! It was planning application P2015/3078/FUL in summer 2015, which was approved with conditions (I haven't yet discovered what the conditions were). But someone who was looking at the sign at the same time as me said tha…
