  • Dorothy, does the 200m radius not scale up with the size of the development?
  • @J - I've had similar but mild experiences with Jai's. @ G-unit - it does make you wonder, being a *legal requirement* and all that... Seems crazy, and often all because someone is negligent, lazy, or incompetent. I had food poisoning on Holiday,…
  • Well, here is a bit of a problem. Now I feel like the wool has been pulled over the planning depts eyes to some degree. As ActionVerb mentioned, according to the public consultation document 3000 leaflets went out. However: 1) The Area action plan …
  • I haven't even got planning notice through the door, even though I'm nearer than the nearest part of Morray Road (re:Applehead's original post) to Wells Terrace. A snotty phonecall tomorrow is in order methinks.
  • Anybody find the Old Dairy anywhere? The Worlds end didn't do well (1-star: poor), but back in early 2008.
  • The Fullback got 4 stars. Great, I thought. Then I found the Thai kitchen at the back ...... zero stars.
  • I keep thinking this might end up like Archway. And that ain't nice. Might turn the park into a bit of a sundial too. Being 21-storey I would have thought that shoving a wind turbine or three on the top would make sense, but it's been discounted wi…
  • The "Local Superstore" on Seven sisters Road (was this what ADGS was referring to?) had a facelift recently and looks remarkably like Woodys now. Maybe they moved-ing. And ditto krappyrubsnif @Misscara - you should report the mice for everyone's s…

  • "A BESPOKE picture framers whose clients include artists Damien Hirst and David Hockney have unveiled plans for a new £30million headquarters - with almost 500 student rooms attached." http://www.islingtongazette.co.uk/content/islington/gazette/n…
  • @Kate : "We've been to visit other schemes that the architect David Gallagher has done and were impressed." Can you tell us what they are so we can see them too ? "..the CIL site being one of them. The height of our proposed building has been led…
  • I forgot to add that apparently the height of the planned building was the maximum that the council would potentially allow (not sure exacty what that means), with the very top floor set back on all sides.
  • @reg re: "potentially iffy 'developer' motives'? You’re right. I guess I was just trying to point out that developers aren't necessarily driven by what's best for the area.
  • Hi, >> Am sure the shops/restaurants in the area won't have a problem with 450 studes moving in I agree, but talking from a residential viewpoint that is most definitely a mixed issue. After all, businesses are usually primarily focused …
  • I went to the public exhibition. This is a pretty major development being proposed. Ground + 5 floors makes it at least twice as high as any neighbouring building. Student accomodation for approx 450 will likely change the look and feel of local …

  • Hmmm currently the voting stands at Pappagone 48, Porchetta 21. re: standards at Pappagone - I haven't noticed any change, Had whitebait and Gamberoni recently, both very good. I think the main chef is one of the owners/partners and he's still th…
  • There's at least one, possibly two shoe makers on Marylebone High Street. http://www.taylormadeshoes.co.uk/index.htm
  • I posted this on another forum, but I'm sure it will be of interest here too: Some fascinating 1940's aerial photography is available on www.getmapping.com , taken from RAF and Luftwaffe stock between 1939-1950. Type in N4 3JH as a postcode, a…
  • Matt, whats the usability like on the TopField PVR? My folks have a Humax and it's a bit poor in that respect. Am tempted to get Virgin+ myself, although the deal for new punters is £30/month for 10mb/45chan & V+/phone whereas for existing custo…
  • The only thing stopping people swearing is surely down to what the admin's say is too much. You could have a public swearathon on a daily basis if you wanted to. No need to go private, unless you meant it more like slander 'n stuff?
  • http://www.fixmystreet.com/ is good for that kinda thing.
  • Has the Old Dairy stopped selling short pints yet? I'm not into the whole Tell-us if-your-pint-is-short business, it just royaly cocks me off big time. And yes I expect mind-reading skills from all staff. I'm tempted to dig out that photo of the Lar…
  • Very pervy indeed, I just need to pick their brains about this site. I can't seem to find any trace of a contact email or wotnot.
