    We have new members!!

    One of them owns a dog. This is ace.

    The other one may also own a dog, but hasn't told me. This is still OK.

    I hope they introduce themselves and enter the debate on whether the crepe stall is a business that we should buy.

    Can everyone else pretend that we all post loads on this site please?

    Hello

    I don't own a dog. Do you have ways of finding out if people do own dogs? This is extremely Intriguing.
    Anyway I guess I am new.
    I'm a little scared this is a bit like the first day of school... without the orange squash.

    Welcome Wassey.

    Don't be scared. Andy may shout loudest in the playground and assume everyone has a dog because he's got one, but he's actually quite nice.

    Are you proper N4 local or just curious from a far?

    Oh not so scared now. Thank you.
    I've always wanted a dog but would most likely lose the poor thing.
    I am a proper N4 girl.. graduated up from N8 just recently so new to it's delights.

    However I have sampled the waffles.

    By the way, how do I get rid of the capitals in my name? Looks like I'm angry. I'm not.

    Hello Wassey.

    It's not Andy's dog. It's my dog.

    Also, whilst we're on the subject of changing names, can I be Lucy F or Lucyf rather than lucyfenton? Surprising that Andy, with such a common name, gets to be Andy and I, with my less common name, have lucyfenton. As lasquith is thus monikered, can I be just Lucy? Or would this be too confusing for fordster and lasquith and others. Starting to gibber now. Too much chocolate cake and not enough tea.

    Maybe I'll even have a nickname. Will have to think of one though.

I stumbled across you guys googling Stroud Green hoping to find out which of the local eateries you could recommend and which should be avoided. I think I've already managed to suss out the pub situation, the Fullback winning hands down.

    Currently trying to encourage other locals to submit geotagged photos of the area to Flickr:
