I know this has cropped up on the forum before but went to Gold Lee for the first time other night, food was excellent... the interior is a bit bright and 'standard', a few tea lights and a dimmer switch would transform the place for the evening... but go... try it... see what you think... happy eating folks xcc http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o4237z/gold-lee

Perhaps my rant could be the start of a new thread for grumpy old residents!!! Proposed title... "Things the council have got wrong over the years" oh no... mercy! It could run and run and drive us all into packing up our teepees and moving on out!!!! charliecharlie Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > karter Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > Is the council not pedestrianising Northcross > rd > > anymore? > > they keep trying to bring this one in... some > years ago (about 3/4/5, can't really remember) > they had loads of meetings, did some consultation, > drew up some (hideous and worthless) proposals > adding ghastly 'features' to improve' the street > (which was fine as it was) using resources (both > material and financial) which did not need using > up! > > One of the ideas was to pedestrianise which was > DEEPLY unpopular with both residents and traders. > We (those who went to the meeting/mix of retailers > and residents) managed to do some damage > limitation and the LEAST bad thing we could get > them to do was repave (one side!!! as there was > not budget for both!!! genius eh!) part of the > street, which the council then did badly, took > 6mths to complete and chose (without consultation) > a red paving and black tarmac combo that, 1) > looked like a new run way at Heathrow 2) did not > match/sit well with all the other paving around > (straight forward stone grey stuff) 3) made any > repair work a disaster (as the red bricks either > get filled in with lumpy badly laid tarmac or or > are left as a hole for another 6mths)...

karter Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Is the council not pedestrianising Northcross rd > anymore? they keep trying to bring this one in... some years ago (about 3/4/5, can't really remember) they had loads of meetings, did some consultation, drew up some (hideous and worthless) proposals adding ghastly 'features' to improve' the street (which was fine as it was) using resources (both material and financial) which did not need using up! One of the ideas was to pedestrianise which was DEEPLY unpopular with both residents and traders. We (those who went to the meeting/mix of retailers and residents) managed to do some damage limitation and the LEAST bad thing we could get them to do was repave (one side!!! as there was not budget for both!!! genius eh!) part of the street, which the council then did badly, took 6mths to complete and chose (without consultation) a red paving and black tarmac combo that, 1) looked like a new run way at Heathrow 2) did not match/sit well with all the other paving around (straight forward stone grey stuff) 3) made any repair work a disaster (as the red bricks either get filled in with lumpy badly laid tarmac or or are left as a hole for another 6mths)... Remember the hole outside Pretty Traditional that has only just been bunged back up again with tarmac??? 4) knocked retail trade really badly for the 6mth it took to complete the work 5) miscalculated the depth of the bricks so the curb had to be raised (which in turn meant none of the market traders stalls fitted the site anymore) which caused further chaos. They also bust through into the water mains and I seem to remember gas mains too as they had not done a proper survey and left the barriers and heaps of waste lying around for further 2/3 mnths. GENIUS eh!!.... I could go on and on (or am I going on already??? hypothetical question folks... no reply needed here!!) The long and the short is that the street is FINE as it is!!!! You may all note that I am not that impressed by the council (having lived in and around the area for 20 yrs, one can get a teeny bit worn down by their inability to manage 'a p**s up in a brewery') Say YES to good, well managed, considerate design that improves peoples lives... however, say NO to change for change's sake

My Mum sometimes spend 30 mins driving round and round as she can not find a space. Res Parking is a HUGE money spinner for the council, once it is in they can increase the amount per year without any consultation and at a percentage increase totally unrelated to in/deflation etc... BEWARE!!!! no benefit to residents. I live near Peckahm Rye station and my annual payment is now 5 times more than when I moved here. WATCH OUT THEIVES ABOUT (ie Southwark)

don't wan to put you off your food... but...::o

oh lordie me... just had a thought... Hope I don't now get of string of comments about attaching an image of a man with half his kit off... guess we girls might not like it if it was of a woman in same state of undress... but hey ho, life goes on and a thing of beauty is to be admiredB) even if from behind dark glasses!

photoshop overload, touch up city, but still pretty eye catching in more than one or two or three ways... Thought you might have meant this one for a mo Moos, could he wear his trousers any lower?????? Not so arty but quite cute none the less;-)

Thanks Sean, yes all up for all views being aired, and the EDF provides a great space for debate, just felt that a few forumites can be a bit harsh/hard (mean even) at times, I think they're trying to be funny, and one of my all time favorite past times is laughter, but it's not always easy to 'read' if meant to be funny, guess that's cr*p humor for you! Some of you EDF lot are brilliantly funny though... so loving it, only thing is I should be working... eeekkk
