I miss Dorcas

Not to sound like a JL apologist, but they do pay their cleaners above minimum wage (admittedly after the strike) - wouldn't have thought many places do. But no, they don't have partner perks, and i believe they also outsource delivery drivers and …

They've bought around 15 old Clinton's cards sites around the country to begin with. Pretty speedy expansion plans.

Bit defeatist there, rainbow_carnage. I didn't say I only shop at 100% ethical companies, just ones that - as far as I know - aren't massive tax avoiders. And actually, it's pretty easy to make "better" (not "perfect") choices - I use the local chem…

I love what JK Rowling said about paying tax. I'm boycotting quite a few tax avoiding companies - although i've only just stopped using Amazon, and the one I have trouble not using is google. Is there another search engine that's as good anyone?
-
I think it's the same La Forchetta as the one on Upper Street innit. Do cheap and cheerful Italian restaurants now outnumber wig shops?
-
@jacula, I burn smokeless coal, which is ok. It means you shouldn't need to sweep the chimney so often, but I get it swept every year anyway to make sure there are no birds or debris - I'm paranoid about chimney fires and carbon monoxide because I h…

@boxrunner Hope they don't mind me giving out their prices, but it's £55. Not sure if they have different prices according to whether you have open fire/wood burner etc - mine's a standard open fireplace. Seems pretty reasonable.
-
This is such a shame. I had never been there but it was always on my list of things to do one day. Too late. I met a woman at a party in Somerset the other week who, when hearing where I lived, raved about Chez Liline (an N4 friend had taken her).

I'd love a couple of bottles too please!
-
They should do this
-
This is great news! Want to whisper me your email address and we'll coordinate? If anyone else wants to come, whisper me too.

Had a Venezia pizza last week. It is GOOD PIZZA IN THE AREA. No spam texts though, thankfully. Wonder what the new pizza place will be like on Tollington Park. Seems to be taking an age to open.
-
Oh goodness, I'm now remembering the hill on the second lap. Do you Parkrunners do practice runs during the week? Actually... does anyone want to go running? I don't want to join a proper running club, and I'm slow and like stopping every so often …
-
I did it last summer but came second from last. I know it's not meant to be a race but I was a bit put off by all the serious runners in alarming sportswear up front (and I'm now imagining Andy in an all-in-one lycra running suit). I did want to do …

Jewels is good. I also quite like Kwik Fit in Crouch End - have never felt ripped off by them.
-
Oh no! So sorry to hear that. I'm wishing you lots of good luck in the future too.
-
This is such great news! I have been worrying about that cat for a couple of weeks. Happy petting!
-
Sorry, I hijacked this thread with the Upper Tollington Park cat which @GeekyCatLover has been feeding. Since this cat definitely sounds abandoned, I thought she would be the one for you. Hopefully the cat that @barebackreader's friend …
-
This is great news! I just went out to have a look but there's no sign of it. I'm only round the corner so I'll keep watch, or I'm sure @GeekyCatLover can find it. Hope so. Beetroot is a good name but perhaps you should hold a SG.org poll?
-
Yes, the cat I saw was on Upper Tollington between Florence and Victoria. I would love @missannie to have it. If it is being neglected the "owners" have forfeited their rights to it as far as I'm concerned. I can go out right now with a cat basket a…

I've always wondered how you know whether a cat is lost or not. My cat goes exploring a lot and I wouldn't want someone (with good intentions) thinking he was lost and taking him in. I saw a young black and white cat on Upper Tollington this morning…

Do they do them at Vagabond? Never been to Laura's but have been to Jenny's numerous times - always good
-
Another vote for Jenny's
-
I like Hana. Also WOW sushi in Crouch End. Haven't been for ages, but I remember it being pretty good.
-
Sorry to hear his, how horrid for you. I can understand why someone who has been attacked would just want to get out of there but if you see an incident on the bus, tell the driver! If the police don't turn up there and then, the bus driver will rep…

I will probably regret asking this, but what is "kilt nob"?
