I'd always considered the slightly haphazard feel of Stroud Green Road (the "shit-hole ambience?") to be part of its appeal, but I do agree that cars blocking pavements and cycle lanes and so on isn't ideal. I suppose I'm just used to it.

So "the two car washes should be closed down immediately" because what? Because they're not all "nice" like another wine bar or hipster cafe? Because you might get your feet wet while walking past? That Big Yellow one has been there as long as I …

Was that Chapter One before? Wasn't someone shot there once? (just to bring the thread back on track)

I'm not condoning such crime for a second, but with so many phone zombies on Stroud Green Road it must be like picking fruit off a tree.

I enjoy the opposite approach. Always wear normal civilian outfit, no need for dedicated cycling attire, and so arrive anywhere instantly ready to become a pedestrian again. Complete the look with a 1994 steel mountain bike (Raleigh, of course) an…

I'd always thought the rules for cycling on that bridge were the same as for the Parkland Walk, i.e. cycling permitted but with due consideration for pedestrians. Seems reasonable enough if everyone's sensible. I can't speak for anyone else (peopl…

The thing to do with spam texts is report them to your phone network operator by forwarding to 7726 (spells 'SPAM' on a phone keypad). Ofcom/ICO apparently do investigate and take action against this sort of thing if they get enough reports of it. …

First-time poster, keyword-heavy message with a link... A bit spammy?

Who gets the other 1/3?

The "quotes" on the home page are truly laughable... "I’m really excited about Nextdoor coming to the UK. I know it will be a great tool for bringing our neighbourhood together, whether that's to find other people who want to put on a street party—…

Speaking of running the site.. I suspect something isn't set up properly, since clicking on some usernames reveals what I assume are "private" messages sent to other users, sometimes discussing addresses, phone numbers and so on. These messages ar…

Inconsiderate motorists obstructing the cycle crossing over Holloway Road (bottom of Drayton Park) are a right pain... From my enquiries, both the council and TfL deny they're responsible for it, so I've no idea who is. If it was made into a yello…

What most offends the general public is being barred from their local park for weeks on end.

Successful local markets have existed around the world for millennia without social media, so it's not a prerequisite to spam it up on twitter and so forth to succeed. Supporting a market is about turning up and spending money, not encouraging peop…

Speeding under the bridge *the wrong way* I omitted to mention
-
Where's the best place to report dangerous driving (dangerous riding?) by scooters, e.g. RK16 LHD, the senseless idiot? The number of times I've seen scooters speeding under the railway bridge at the bottom of Stroud Green Road, and typically jumpi…

If someone decides to leave litter in the park, they've decided to leave litter in the park, regardless of what the council does. It's the "it's the council's job" or "let someone else pick it up" kind of attitude that perpetuates the mess. The pr…

To be fair to the Exotic, they'd always gladly power-up any dish nicely on request (e.g. vindaloo-level dhansak my personal favourite) which many places don't do well (or only do very slightly) presumably fearing they might make it too hot. It was …

That sounds like part of the problem then! It doesn't matter how neatly you place things near a bin, foxes will investigate overnight and drag rubbish everywhere. Near the bin is still littering. Is it really too troublesome to carry rubbish back …

Thanks for the speedy clarification, Ian. That sounds much better.

"Pop-up" it may be, but I really don't like the idea of an eat-in place using disposable plastic plates. If you're cooking, surely you can do some washing up?
