The 141 from Manor House is my preferred option now. Takes about 35 minutes on a good day (rare) and around 50 on all others. That's a lot longer than all other journeys, but your quality of life will be tripled. You always get a seat! You can read …

That looks like a tribute to my good old running route. A shame they have to do it via the medium of rhythmic speaking.
-
Mirandola - thanks again. Strangely, the membership that includes gym use and costs £15 more is limited to the borough, whereas the £30 swimming-only version covers all! (I think it's possible to switch without penalty). Nick - impressive! The unhe…

Just to be clear, I was referring to another thread when talking about jumpers over swimwear/fluf in the water, not to reality!
-
marko - thanks, that explains why the guy with whom I signed up insisted that my membership would only apply to pools in Hackney. Can't wait to try the one in York! Park Road wasn't really on the agenda because I hear awful stories of cashmere fluff…

Thanks, M & m, very helpful! Will start at Clissold Park, but also want to try at least the one in Ironmonger Row. With the list mentioned above I assume membership is valid across boroughs?(...Now all I need is somebody who teaches me how to en…

rainbow_carnage - thanks for those comments. I have been thinking about going to see A Season in the Congo for a while and will certainly do so now. Also agree re Punchdrunk (but can't see what's so bad generally about Ibsen). You should post regula…

I said it in another thread. The correct spelling is pepys, of course.

Enjoy the break - went through the same panic as several peeps above!

Any veggie options? Or just sides?

An ok summary.

I don't get most of the food I eat.

I suppose as with all building styles, the living quliaty in brutalist or similar architecture is dependent on the buildling quality and the way properties are run and allowed to deteriorate. If you encourage tenants to be house-proud, I don't think…

I often find that the people blocking cycle paths are oblivious because they are distracted, as in mums with several kids around them or elderly people with heavy shopping trolleys, and I have found myself slowing down and on occasion even getting o…

I also have some brilliant John Lewis lampshades to go with the deck chair, if you want those!

Great indeed, thanks Gardener Joe. Do you think number three is the view from fiveways down Stapleton Hall Road towards Ferme Park Road?

The best German beer is Jever. It's very bitter pilsner from the north, none of that watery southern stuff. You drink it from the bottle, preferably in some gloomy place with industrial music playing in the background. Just saying.

What Stroud Green really is, according to the above map, is posh. Particularly the bit between the railway bridge and Woodstock Road, just next to the station. Is that because of Molen's?
-
Ah, good idea! Creamy colour, standard drum shape, with some fancy removable thingy at the bottom that diverts the light into a floral pattern. I think that's meant to be a Moroccan effect. A bit similar to this, but not quite. Also ideal for painti…

Isn't that how news agencies have always made their money?

Cockfosters on the Picadilly Line, but we don't want to go there.

Tot ueber den Zaun haengen? Never heard that!

Walthamstow has an amazing Facebook group, the Walthamstow (Unofficial) Tourist Board, which mainly showcases dumped mattresses. Seems a great place to me!
