I think most decent Conservative voters would be appalled if t…
Is that unlock-phone-shop/international calls/internet place thingy near the fishmonger still there? I've used them for printing, faxing etc. Or Dream River?
@NorthNineteen - do you need to have a need for balloons? I treated myself to a balloon from X-It a while ago and it made me giddily happy. This has reminded me to go and get one from this shop.
I was talking to someone a couple of weeks ago about …
Finsbury Cycles have always repaired my bike quickly and efficiently. But then again they did sell it to me - with its dodgy gears - in the first place. But I like them.
I think small unions are pretty pointless, although I suppose starting one would provoke some bad publicity, but this would be fairly short-term. Can't they join USDAW?

Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear this. Is it worth trying the RSPCA? The vet should be able to confirm that she had been neglected (from when you first took her in). I doubt the RSPCA have any power to give you ownership, but they might be able to get in…
Finny P!
@kreuzkav I started noticing a couple of months ago how many more hipster types seem to be in the area now. I'm not sure why though - rents are high here and it's not exactly edgy.
I find it really sinister too and, as someone else pointed out to me, buying a snow-based being who can only survive in freezing temperatures a warm hat and gloves is basically murder.
Munever at Image is good! I took a skirt to be hemmed to Sew in Crouch End and was told it was physically impossible to do it. So I took it to Image and they did it perfectly.
