Not quite on-topic, but prepare some good visits for a fortnight's time in [Open House](http://www.openhouse.org.uk/public/london/event.html)?

I'd like a mug please. Already got a bag from back when the shop was working.

I thought the London Paper was really good for what it was. It managed to be fresh and developed a different, positive voice, despite the mandatory celeb rubbish. I particularly liked their approach during the mayoral election, when they didn't take…

Wow, thanks for those documents. The Area Action Plan due for adoption in April 2011, supported by analysis from 2005. Does that represent a specially fast-tracked process? Is Islington still on track to hit its deadlines on this?

You can see what an odd, curving route the line must have taken from the location of [Cranley Gardens](http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.58703,-0.14804&spn=0.01,0.01&t=h&q=51.58703,-0.14804) station, which has been labelled on Google map…

It was good. The [risotto](http://www.sporeboys.com/Pages/wearethesporeboys.html) was very tasty, and [mojitos](http://twoblindpigs.blogspot.com) went down well. I liked [Rosalind Davis's](http://rosalinddavis.blogspot.com) pictures of buildings. …

You might as well say what's wrong with growing your own vegetables, educating your own children, fixing your own boiler, cutting your own hair etc. I don't see what makes cleaning a specially reprehensible service to outsource?

Hazzard's answer seems fairly comprehensive: even with a request button, putting in an extra phase would cost quite a bit of money and it would make the crossing quite a lot more dangerous, as some pedestrians would be tempted to jump onto the cross…

Precession - great word. Learn something new every day...

I just found out it was full today as well. In past years I have turned up and paid on the day. If anyone has a spare number (injured or can't run for some other reason) then please let me know. Your complaints are heartfelt but surely unfair on th…

If starting from the west end, then the two easiest and quickest walking / running routes are the ones past either prison. In daylight, cutting through Marylebone and Regents Park is pleasant. Unfortunately then it's a case of Parkway and Camden R…

In answer to the original question, nobody should hire a car without using a price comparison service such as [Travelsupermarket](http://www.travelsupermarket.com). For example, a car for Bank Holiday weekend from Friday morning to Tuesday morning i…

If the construction magazine you work for is called [Construction News](http://www.cnplus.co.uk/news/business/bmh-construction-faces-cva/1995304.article) then too late, your colleague got there before you and already published the story.

@Duncan, the line going east is useful for direct access to Leyton Orient football ground, Stroud Green's most local Football League team.

Depending on which paper it is, some of the publishers organise early morning delivery in London which can be free with a subscription to the paper. The FT and Times both do this and it comes very early. The Independent are also at it. The Guardian …

There are two Asquith nurseries off Stroud Green Road -- one on Dulas St and one at the bottom of Crouch Hill. Bridget and katiejane, which one were you talking about? What did you dislike about it? My child is at the Dulas St one and we have had…

Yes, the London & Country people are very good -- I think it is they that partner with Motley Fool. They also come recommended by Martin Lewis, the moneysavingexpert.com, whose advice is as good as his delivery is annoying.

We went to Dudley's before Christmas, and were disappointed with the savoury pancakes. The big problem is the batter -- they need to be using a wholesome, thick brown flour mix, and less fat, because at the moment the savoury ones are cloying and od…

I have found http://www.1aactionplumbers.co.uk/ very good for work on boilers and radiators. The guy is based in Tottenham but happy to travel. Not the cheapest hourly rate, but he is good at fixing old boilers rather than simply recommending a n…

Hi, I have been in N4 for five years, but moved from Stroud Green to the other side of the railway in the Harringay Ladder. (There doesn't seem to be a similar website for that side of the postcode -- unless anyone knows one?) We like to come to…
