I'd recommend Robert Linsky in Muswell Hill. He's a brilliant contact lens practitioner and an evangelist for the hard gas permeable variety. I've been seeing him for 30-odd years (out of 40) and wouldn't go anywhere else. My eyes have stopped tol…

The W5 is 'hail and ride' for part of its route, so you should be able just to flag it down and hop on. Never actually done this, mind... As for the 29, it would surely be a strong contender for Worst Possible London Transport Experience (Northern …

I recommend the Colney Hatch Dental Practice, just on the other side of Muswell Hill. Very efficient, NHS patients accepted, always had good treatment there.

FP's tri-borough location makes it sound like this exciting place in South America -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_Frontier

And previously a Firkin, with a vast papier mache pigeon suspended from the ceiling and its own micro-brewery.

@vetski - I didn't! Thank you. Bit unfair though. The SGR store is substantially better than it was only a few months ago, the occasional vegetable shortage notwithstanding. I developed a greater sympathy for the staff after watching an old lad…

Well, it could be worse. It could be like the branch in Haggerston... http://haggerston-tescos.tumblr.com/

I've always assumed that The Noble labours under a harsh pubco tie, given the utterly generic beer selection on offer. It's the kind of place that absolutely cries out for a craft/small indie brewery offering. Something is certainly seriously ami…

Well I never... Here it is in the H&H already It's a good thing to do, but why all the self-promoting hullabaloo? Why not just get on with it?

In all fairness, it does seem busier. I walked past at 6.30-ish last Sunday and it was as crowded as I've seen it in months.

Did she accidentally wipe with a stinging nettle?

Nice looking shop, friendly staff, curiously limited selection of produce and very, very pricy. Nice to see Lardo di Colonnata on the shelves, but it's at nearly £50/kilo... Vallebona do it at £29.40. No wine at under £10 a bottle. Tiny jar of a…

A gastro pub would be a bold play for that stretch of the Hornsey Road. Any stretch of it, arguably. They used to sell a pint of Guinness for £3. Value. It's a shame the place is closed.

Old Etonians, would you believe. Like everybody else these days.
-
Good question - I certainly don't... What happened?
-
Hope it's not going to be floor-to-ceiling panettone like that useless place in Crouch End. Any self-respecting Italian deli should stock the following: Mustard fruits (mostarda di Cremona)Coarse polentaSalted anchovies. We shall see...

If you're stuck, any self-storage place will flog you boxes in a range of sizes, plus all the attendant clobber (sticky tape, clingy wrap...).

Some hopeful food service entrepreneurs are refitting a shop by the Stapleton. Used to be a kebab place, I think, but it is soon to be an establishment called 'Pancakes Paradise'.

Mover Dave 07792733491 and Mover Steve 07971373703 Used them three times now. Wouldn't consider anyone else - in fact, I'd plan my move around their availability.

At the risk of sounding appallingly mean, I feel that some charity shops simply charge too much for the books they sell, with low stock turnover being the result. Hence books being accepted for which there is no shelf space and no prospect of anyon…

And not from my vantage point on the top deck of a bus, stuck in traffic between Manor House and FP, as the Saturday gig was gearing up. Dealers spaced out at intervals along the back fence, plenty of business to go around, it appeared...

The name came from the branch in Kentish Town. Having leased the site, the owners stripped back the modern facade, revealing - to their surprise - the original signage: E Mono. They kept it...

A welcome bonanza for area drug dealers. Suspect they did very well out of the Stone Roses gig.
-
What a load of complete piffle.

And a Greek shelf!
-
Suspect that refers to fixie bikes rather than self-conscious facial hair. The two often to be found in the same place, however.

I wouldn't count out Lynne Featherstone. She's ferociously well-organised. When I lived on the Haringey side, there would be Lib Dem stuff through the door every week or so; now, on the Islington side, I barely see anything. They don't seem to wa…

On the subject of kebabs, I heard a whisper that the excellent E Mono of Kentish Town are setting up an outpost near the station.

You register with the local council at least 28 days before you open and then get an inspection - unannounced - within a couple of months. That leads to your Scores on the Doors sticker, etc.
