Is this the sign that the gentrification of ED is finally complete ?

He's busy, as he's just opened a cat acupuncture centre.


Cats are returned to their owners with hot pokers sticking out of their paws.

Next you'll be telling us there's no Father Christmas!..

Scientist refutes claim that letting your cat sleep in a magnetic bed has side effects...

I'd place good money to suggest the hot poker would not sticking out of their paws, but more likely sticking out of somewhere else.

DM I remember some great posts from you back in the day. How time has flown! Are you satisfied with the level of gentrification that's taken place locally?


JL I have taken advantage of this freebie and I can tell you now I was more concerned with the idea of pushing a trolley around filled with goods whilst juggling a hot drink than I was about the standard of people shopping in store.


Louisa.

Louisa darling, I will not admit to doing my own supermarket shopping on a public forum, otherwise how am I to showcase my staff? The next thing you know I would be expected to collect my own children from school and blow dry my own hair... Actually, I may rethink staff access to my credit cards for the New Year, in case they lose the run of themselves, this last year has been a complete shocker (dabs tear from eye).


I feel that Waitrose should provide cup holders on their trolleys, don't you? The aupair is costing me a fortune in fresh coffee and if she can get her hit for free at the super marche, all the better I say! When will this damn recession ever end (pokes aupair on the head with keys from Audi Q7).


Sweet North Londoner! I have been spending quite a lot if time reflecting over the last year, re-evaluating my relationships. Where is a girl to look for role models? The behaviour of Paul Hollywood has totally destroyed the joy if bread baking for me (OK, vicariously via my house keeper) - what a cad (blows nose loudly), that man deserves a close encounter with my Kitchen Aid dough hook! And now that the scales have fallen from my eyes and I have finally seen Nigella in her true light - KFC? OHMYGOD! I have been so naive (wails and shakes fist at sky)!


When I think of the money I have spent on Manuka honey, kaffir lime leaves and speciality Italian 00 flour...


No doubt Jah Lush will uncover some connection between Iceland's chicken Tikka lasagne and Kate Middleton and then I shall require a month in The Priory!


If feel so at home on Lordship lane now, I am quite simply, no longer that unusual. Am I? 😱

    • Given the recent and numerous reportings of violence and intimidation, this was preventable and it just beggars the question of what actually gets the police up and doing something.
    • I quote from the News Shopper A post on social media network Nextdoor by someone who says they know the victim expands on their reported injuries. This is not exactly first hand. The mET say A 48-year-old man alleges he was injured
    • A couple of cloves sliced in half or quartered, boil for around 10 minutes or until it is giving off aroma, then add to a spray bottle once cooled.
    • There are planes going to more than one London airport. It's been discussed on here before, but I can't remember the exact details. Also if memory serves it depends on the prevailing wind exactly what route the planes take on a particular day, but I may be wrong there. Or maybe they vary the route so the same people don't get the noise each time? I moved here (also North Cross Road area) over thirty years ago and the plane noise has always been bad. I don't think it's got any worse, though it may have done. It has always started around 5am or a bit earlier ( on the days the planes take that route, I suppose?) Concord used to fly over around 5pm each day. That was excellent. It always seemed to be directly over my house, but due to the height of planes I guess many people think they are directly over their house! Triple glazing in my bedroom has helped, but not completely,  though it wasn't installed for that reason.
