miss annie's is definitely the best. I'm quite jealous.

"cars annoy me a bit more because the potential for harm is rather greater" This about sums it up for me. The attitude of (some) motorists seems to be "I can do more damage to you so you need to watch out," when surely it should be "I can do more da…

Might be worth getting some advice from the Citizens' Advice Bureau too.

That totally sucks. Hope it was insured and/or you get it back.

There was a fantastic two-day festival in Lloyd Park in Walthamstow over the summer: the Walthamstow Garden Party. Two music stages (Brand New Heavies were the Saturday headliners), food court with tapas, pizza, burgers, posh sausages, YumYum Thai a…

Cyclists jump red lights. Motorists jump red lights. Pedestrians wander across when the lights are red, often while texting/tweeting on their phones, paying no attention to what's going on around them. And yet somehow the ones who get all the critic…

Have you tried freecycle/freegle? I see quite a few childs' bikes on the Waltham Forest one, so it's worth a look.

I was on TalkTalk in my flat. It's cheap, but I think I probably spent more time on the phone trying to sort out the connection having gone down again than I actually using the internet. Virgin isn't perfect, but it's much better than my experience …

Unfortunately the veggie options really don't appeal to me.

Harrods Christmas shop opens in July. And let's be honest, it's highly unlikely that people are going to refuse to go to the fair just because November isn't officially winter.

And not just staff wage, but staff *living* wage, hopefully.

If you're on the Haringey side, you could Haringey Adult Learning Service. More info here: http://www.haringey.gov.uk/index/jobs-and-training/adult-learning.htm

Well I completed the London to Cambridge on Sunday. My friend and I did it in just over four hours, which considering I was expecting six was pretty good, although I don't know how that measures up to other cyclists. We overtook plenty of people and…

Another thanks from me. Have completed the survey,

That is absolutely brilliant WiltshireCourtBoy. Thanks so much for sharing and taking the time to post it all.

You can maybe see it here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/105695203994225829355/posts/LqQ9jrCQFx5?pid=6039974315153416994&oid=105695203994225829355

Not sure if this will work, but if it does there should be a photo of Poppy loving her catnip mouse. You can't actually see the mouse that well because she's loving it quite a bit. ETA: it didn't work. Does the site not recognise pic links from Goo…

I've already said I want more chaps crafting and I'm ready to put my money where my mouth is, as it were. So please add a link and I will contribute. I haven't got a cat anymore but the neighbour's cats are very demanding when it comes to catnip toy…

I get something similar on my phone (using Safari on iPhone 5S). The first post of (eg) this post isn't there. On the mobile site, it's got the name of the thread and then the second post. It works properly on a normal computer and on my tablet. Swa…

I wasn't going to do this as I hate asking for money, but I'm doing the London to Cambridge bike ride on Sunday, a total of 60 miles, which is the furthest I've ever ridden. Or will be if I manage it! I rode a 45-mile round trip between Walthamstow …

I actually think this is a great idea. Sewing is a useful, practical skill. Sewing on buttons, hemming, repairing small rips, darning socks: all good things to know how to do - especially for anyone with children - and none of which require a sewing…

I think I've been lucky - it seems to me that most of the time when cars are in ASLs it's because they've mistimed the lights and had to stop rather than just not caring that they shouldn't be there. Although a few times the latter has definitely be…

It would be fantastic to collect all these stories up and publish them.

I saw Depp in Greenwich when he was filming Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Greenwich is pretty good for sleb spots because they film at the Old Royal Naval College quite a lot. Also saw Ben Barnes when he was filming Dorian Grey. Watched them filming T…

For those feeling like they're unrepresented/unimportant to the various parties, I'm sure there must be issues close to your hearts for which you could find out what the parties' policies are. There was a lot of strong feeling about cutting trees d…

Well the planet is way overpopulated. Killing off a couple of billion would definitely help.

I'm with Misscara. I'm quite capable of seeing what's wrong with the present incumbents. What I want to know is how any potentials are going to make it better. And empty promises aren't enough. I want evidence and facts. I really want to know *how* …

London is flipping awesome, but I suspect Londoncentricity is bad for the country as a whole, and probably bad for London too. The second city discussion from a while back kind of touched on this, as did the TV programme about the UK's (lack of) sec…

A lady I used to work with opens her garden up for this. She used to be editor of *The English Garden* magazine. I've seen some photos of her garden on Facebook and it is truly stunning.
