OK, I'll go first. I wish that there may be no more power cuts on Hewitt Rd in the coldest parts of winter. And that everything the people on the EDF emergency line say in order to placate their irate customers ("We will give you a call to update you on the situation", "We are working on the problem", "We have solved the problem", "Once the problem causing this power cut is fixed, you won't have any more problems") actually comes true. Ah. Just thinking about it makes me feel all warm and heat-y.

Lee Valley Bats (a local voluntary community group, basef at Tottenham Hale), wishes to have a larger portacabin at the Paddock (Haringey Community Natire Park). We rregulatly run FREE training workshops on wildlife and environmental topics. Sadly, due to the small size of the current cabin (which seats just 9 people), we are having to turn people away. Also, currently there is no access or provisions for disabled/wheelchair users. Our FREE training is a valuable resource and we sincerely hope that the new year will bring us a new, larger and improved Portakabin. If you read this and you are in a position to make this dream come true, we would so much like to hear from you.
Season's Greetings

I wish that the landlords of Harringay/the fast food joints and their users/ assorted riff raff who think it's okay to dispose of unwanted stuff by chucking it in the street would all suddenly develop a sense of collective responsibility, realise the effect of their selfish behaviour and for their New years resolution resolve to make the streets clean and junk free.
I wish they can be visited by the ghost of a dead flytipper weighed down by all the rubbish they have ever chucked away then the ghosts of Fly tipping Past, Fly Tipping Present where they are shown the horrible effects of their junk on the world and Fly Tipping Future where the world is just covered in old mattresses, TVs, black bags and there's not a pleasant view to be had that hasn't got a shopping trolley and McDonalds wrappers obscuring it. Oh and an old TV dumped next to their headstone...
I wish that the fine Victorian frontages of Grand Parade could be cleaned up, restored and have planning restrictions placed on them while down below the 4 betting/gaming shops turn into the Salisbury Electric Picture Theatre, a funky community venue, an art gallery and a fish shop.
There's my three wishes, Fairy Godmother...oh and I nearly forgot, not so much a wish as a plain old objection...NO ADVERTS in the Parks!

I hope to be able to visit Harringay next year..
HoL and being able to connect here with some of its residents, has (Like Chris Smith) brought back many long forgotten memories of my childhood.
Like Liz, I would really like to see Grand Parade get the acknowledgment it deserves by some sort of 'Listing' and that restrictions on so-called 'modernisation' on it, are put in place.

Gwarsh, won't Fairy Godmother be astonished at how noble we all are in Harringay.
Wot, no month long holidays to Bora Bora? No gleaming Aston Martins/Bernard Hinault bicycles? No Jimmy Choo shoes or tennis ball sized diamonds? No Dreamcatcher yachts.
I'm fond of Harringay, but I have to admit that a more extravagant wish or two may also find its way on to my list.

Can't go on any holiday for a month because my cat would start to revenge himself on the furniture, can't drive and am too scaredy to cycle. Jimmy Choo only make shoes for people with freaky feet and I'd get mugged for a diamond. Yachts? Too much work.
Wouldn't mind one of those Ipod fridges though

For Harringay - trams to replace the buses, decent cycle lanes, bins big enough for all the rubbish on Green Lanes.
For me- a cycle tour around Europe...new laptop...dishwasher...

Ipod fridge?!?!?
Liz, you could always wish for freaky feet for the Jimmy Choo shoes, some protection for your diamond and the crew to look after your yacht.

Yuck no, i hate freaky feet! I really think I could make serious use of the fridge.
At the moment, I'm kind of wishing that like Cinders, the Fairy Godmother will show up with some good health, some decent threads for me and whisk me off to a swanky downtown joint...dinner guest? Well now let me go and make a list of possibilities. No actually, I 'd probably just like to go with Mr E so if you could organise SuperNanny too, that would be nice.

My biggest wish has come true (see "I've often wondered" on my blog). However, if the Fairy Godmother is listening, I'd also wish for a sunshine yellow Renault Megane convertible (a mid-life thing) and a 50% raise in salary. I figured if one wish has come true then I was only entitled to another two.
Happy Christmas everyone and may the Wishing Well grant all your wishes this year.
