  • @StroudGreen.SNT I don't have a twitter account (and would rather not have it), but would still like to be able to find out about Met Air Support activities. Is there any other way one can use to get updated?
  • Refusing to issue a receipt is surely out of order and should definitely be reported! So go for it MF82!
  • Same here. I used to be a regular when JJ was selling art supplies... I really miss it now!
  • I went for the first time today. Totally loved the hot chocolate! Today I had it made with cocoa from Venezuela, I am looking forward to trying the other varieties. The service was excellent too!

  • @Mirandola, thank you for your calming words, but unfortunately I was less safe than I originally thought (my property was attacked four times in the last 15 months), so I tend to be wary now. It is definitely good news ‘that crime fell by 45% fro…
  • Wow, well done Arkady's housemate!Somebody else I've heard about didn't manage to escape. He was kidnapped last Monday from Woodstock Road, robbed (and who knows what else) and dumped a few streets down the road  the day after! What’s going on? Is …
  • @Mirandola Once you have used up Emma's bags, you can find more on Amazon or in any major supermarket (even Wilko do them).

  • Sorry Cookie, it is hard to work out the gender from the usernames. I have no idea what made me think that you would be your sister's brother. You now definitely sound like a very loving sister.
  • You can check here if your signing was successful. It is on 546 now, so it seems to be working for some...
  • Cookie, your sister seems lovely and you sound like a very loving brother, that’s so beautiful. I always find stories like this one inspirational when I forget what’s important in life. I hope you and your sister find it inspirational too. You…
  • @miss annie, thanks for the links, I normally search the previous threads to avoid repetition, but I'm a new member and there are so many threads &#9786... thanks very much for pointing me to the relevant ones, I appreciate. @tosscat, this is …
  • Matt, when you say £25 a day, would that be for 24 hours from the pick up time or from midnight to midnight (i.e. morning to evening)? Also, do you provide a sat nav? If so, would it be included in the £25?

  • More info - he also plays tennis. Are the tennis courts in Finsbury Park used on a first-come-first-serve basis or they have to be pre-booked? If the latter, how can one get to place a booking? Anybody knows?
  • I’ve managed to get more info. The boy plays the guitar well and loves rock music. He is also very much into sport - mainly basketball and swimming. It’s not really so much about doing the sport during these 3 weeks, I’m sure he could live without …
  • Thanks Arkady, this idea sounds great! I’ll pass it on, even your last recommendation &#9786.
  • He is into science big time, so the Hunterian Museum is a brilliant idea... I would never think of this. Thanks.
  • Thank you for all the suggestions, some very good ones there, I will definitely recommend him some of those. Misscara, yes you are right, 3 weeks is a long time and I was more after activities where the boy can meet others to hang out with, so …
  • The other day I saw a man with his bright pink shorts pulled down sitting on a bench towards the Finsbury Park end of Parkland Walk, displaying himself to the world. It was 1.30pm!!!
  • I haven't reported directly to the Safer Neighbourhood guys. I reported all three incidents to 999 and they passed it to the SN guys, who have come to see me...
  • Thank you for informing us missisclack. We should all try to go to this. Crime is prevailing in the area and we need to do our bit to prevent it!
  • This is absolutely awful! I am sorry Drew. I hope you find a way to cope with it. Unfortunately, I cannot say “Stroud Green is not a crime hot spot” as I have lived in the area for just over a year and have been done twice!!! The first time the car…
  • Happy Birthday Misscara, enjoy the day!
  • Hi All, I am a new member, moved into the area just over a year ago, but found out about this site recently at a dinner party in the neighbourhood. I love it, lots of useful and fun stuff here and just as coyote I like the photo thread especially. …
