  • That business being sold on was a very sad outcome of the pandemic. The guys took on the space at just the worst possible time just before Covid and tried so so hard to make it work by any means during the period of restrictions. Sometimes its just …
  • We had ours done by Rooftop rooms in 2012. Its still in one piece today despite storm Eunice so that's a good endorsement. Our contact was a guy called Gary, and Sally in the office. Yes we had a few issues as any build will do, around timings/comms…
  • I believe he had a family bereavement. Sometimes these things crystallise what your next step in life is. I’m gutted, the best pies we’ve ever had. Good luck to him though.
  • @LukeG Totally agree with your point. We've had sections of the park taken over for a few months now with the super sewer base, and more recently a hub for film crews etc. We had the children's playground closed off for a film shoot for a few days…
  • I had always been anti events because i never saw the money generated being spent on the park. However, since Haringey were called out on it, Its been fantastic seeing the investment being made in the children's playground areas, and i believe we ha…
  • @bethany336 4000 a day. 167 an hour, 24 hours a day? Where did that headline stat come from and in what period was it observed?
  • I'm on Hanley. No WhatsApps to my knowledge unless we've upset everyone over the years and haven't been invited! Can't say HR lends itself to a community vibe as its population is so transient and detached because of all the flats and the fact that …
  • @LukeG SG.org and Islington in general is a tough crowd for me on this issue which is to be expected, i'm the outlier. Some differing points of view which is normal on a site like this. I'll support LTNs when they are proposed in a way that object…
  • Therefore contradicts moves to make people use more public transport (over 60's). I have no idea what anyone's plan/strategy actually is anymore.
  • @graystar That's a helpful link, certainly for future special occasions. Thanks
  • I didn't like the use of ethics as an argument. Good vs bad people. If anti vehicle individuals open their own lives to be interrogated there will be holes, lots of holes and as such i think that's not a platform to bring ethics into a discussion. M…
  • When making ethical choices living your own life do you take into account your impact on someone else remote to you who might be affected by your decision? Convenience goes far deeper than getting in a car, but if you have strong views how do they …
  • @Arkady . Every individual has a right to own and drive a car, you've observed people that have chosen to live in a different way. And that is perfectly fine. If you want car owners/drivers to be more like you, you're going to have to bring them alo…
  • That makes sense on new cars, but how does Norway deal with the legacy of their Car Park? Do they penalise those petrol and diesel drivers, or will they help the switch rather than just make the new alternative more expensive.
  • People usually aren't very sympathetic when they can't relate their own life to someone else's. If you live your life on public transport, don't own a car, walk everywhere, how you could possibly understand someone that did? Any argument put forward…
  • @Arkady The article is interesting for sure. It has some facts in it which is rare on this issue so for me has some credibility. What i cant get away from is the thought process that the biggest issues to address exist in quiet streets where pollut…
  • Great if you live in the ward on an already quiet street where (lets be honest, you don't have a problem), awful for anyone on a road that would be considered as necessary to carry the extra traffic through the area and that would get more pollution…
  • They had Camera lighting outside last week, so something wS getting shot or filmed there.
  • Regrettably now confirmed as gone. Saw them loading stock into cars yesterday. It’s a great spot, hopefully it’s used well in the future.
  • @krappyrubsnif . To my knowledge, the menu for Il Piccolo Diavolo is roughly the same, so the main difference is the space. The old Crouch Hill address would have had maybe 6 tables, the new space has maybe 25-30. We should support their ambition to…
  • Message from Greene King........ Dear blah blah blah (me) Thank you for your enquiry. I can confirm that I have spoke with the Business Development Manager for the Old Dairy and he has advised that, whilst our current plan is to re-open the pub, …
  • Is there any security net for funds pledged to support these businesses or is it just a gamble as to whether they make it out the other side? I would support many, and encourage many to seek support if there was some sort of safeguard. If there isn'…
  • Black Ford Focus by any chance? Had the displeasure of watching a group decide to dispose of their dinner remains and packaging straight out of the car window onto the pavement, and then go the extra mile and decide to clear everything from througho…
  • Yes, its a nice show with good intentions that is very easy to watch. Obviously not for all, but that's normal. For example, Star Wars gets a 6 out of 10 from me, and i can't name half the characters or recite lines from any of the films which app…
  • Fair enough, it’s a good point. I think if the school assets are being used commercially that they should be a beneficiary of what is a very successful addition to the community. It’s a steady income for a school that needs funding and I’d hope they…
  • @Ned. How much do the school earn for hosting this every week?
  • Didn’t realise how bad it was. Made national news and people I know around the country I know were asking if our place was flooded. As you say @Papa I feel really sorry for everyone. It’s a tough area as well, people don’t need events like this in t…

  • Should get rid of any dog poo quite nicely

  • Everyone taking drugs in the park must be really annoyed with all the commotion and disruption. They'd be really upset if they tripped on the turf and dropped their crack pipe. It'd get mud in it for starters.
  • Having read the article, can we take that this was also a racist attack? Surprised nobody has mentioned that so far. I found that element quite shocking to be honest.
