2nd viisit today. It's a great addition to our community. Coffee guy doesn't know how to run a stall though, 20 minutes to wait for a coffee isn't acceptable however good it is. It bothered me that they kept taking orders knowing how long people ha…
Olympic Park is great. Overground to Hackney Wick, or you can drive as there are no permits on a Saturday. Acres and acres of cycling space, 2-3 playgrounds, the orbit, lots of cafes and of course the novelty of walking round famous landmarks all af…
Ha ha. Yes i remember that one from the riots!.....And i guess if you went to the trouble of searching previous remarks you'll know that being sarcastic is my only medium of communication normally derived from reading pages and pages of non-stories …
Maybe by extending their premises by 10% they've also increased sales by 10% and therefore nullified the increase in business rates that they received which would have made them make 2 members of staff redundant, who would have claimed benefits, los…
Never ceases to amaze me how people can be so rude. Asking to complete a voluntary survey just isn't a big deal. Good luck with the project, Finsbury Park is awash with great human geography case studies on housing, population movement, demographic…
I would say it would be a safe bet to say that more meals have been enjoyed less as a result of the behaviour of other adults than perhaps a child having a tantrum as there are more adults. Everyone has a right to enjoy a meal out in pleasant circum…
Good post Papa L.If we are looking to reduce pollution in the borough then I fully expect there to be a ban on all types of tobacco smoking, BBQs, charcoal grills on green lanes (the kebab tax), bonfire night, smoking of kippers and meat, and birthd…
@Misscara. Its a distinct possibility, but i'm not that driven to do so. I find the lack of tolerance on the site rather annoying. Its easy to draw attention to people who perhaps stoke up a few threads with some daft comments, but the general dulla…
There is a massive assumption here that regular contributors are making fantastic observations and providing interesting commentary. It happens occasionally, but on the whole it does not. Trolls might annoy regular contributors and participants, but…
I think this is a cast iron case of agree to disagree. Everyone has fairly strong views on whether this was acceptable or not, they're not going to be changed.
@Kreuzkav. Maybe you should take up painting and use the new facilities. I think you nee…
If i was a bird or a bee, i'd be heading straight to the Park rather than wasting my time down Clifton terrace where my chances of being eaten by a cat were fairly high.
The trees will be missed by everyone, i don't think there's any pleasure in see…
@Sutent. If you include parents within "society" i might be able to understand that view, otherwise yes, defo have to agree to disagree. It would be interesting to see your reaction/viewpoint if you were a victim of gang related crime.
@Sutent. No. You can have a difficult life, but it is ALWAYS your decision to turn to crime. Society does not fail you in that way, as there is always an alternative route. Individuals must take responsibility for their actions, blame is an easy opt…
OK Ali. My counter point would be that you know that detail from speaking to Kate Jones. Would you have been bothered enough to go and find out yourself? My guess is that we have possibly 95% more detail from this project than an equivalent elsewher…
@Misscara. Yes thats sort of true. The view that triggered all the nonsense on this page was once again nothing to with an actual opinion of an individual, it was their need to outline in advance how others would disagree with their personal and how…
I've re-read the whole thread to get some context over 5 years. My take.....
1. You will never get a development where you are as engaged with the owner as this one.2. The tree issue has been widely publicised and debated the whole period. Read it f…
The trees have been felled to ensure that Islington Council is able to continue producing the residential magazine that we receive through our doors. Its all a knock on effect of the austerity measures imposed on them by the tory government. The onl…
Ha ha. Possibly the thread that most people would love to contribute to, but know that its not very PC to do so. Strange given that under a different thread name people feel its ok to do it anyway.
V is towie in a field. Normally quite good line ups but you have to have super human tolerance levels to cope with daft people in trilby's, wellies and knock off ray bans. Everyone's harmless just massively annoying. I went when radiohead played, ha…
John jones do not have to talk about this if they don't want to. They engaged with people and have made good efforts to answer queries and address negative feedback. The site was theirs to do as they wished, they didn't owe anyone anything. Let peop…
I visited last Saturday on day 2. The reason it exists is because the lady thats running it loves cheese and wants people to experience great cheese! She also loves French food. She recognises that she's never going to convert Stroud Green into a Pa…
Just on the Godfreys building (not involved with the development). Could this be some shrewd business from the owners? By holding out.....they get the benefit of regular london property value appreciation, the value of being in a regenerated patch o…
@ Kate Jones. Thanks for the update. If you don't rent it, give me a shout and i'll turn it into a roof top bar and mini-golf course.
@ADGS. Name me one bar with south facing views of London that you can walk to in 10 mins from your house. Doesn't …
Can Kate Jones confirm what's happening with the balcony space at the top? It would make the most awesome bar with views of London. Guessing not though......
