Hi Liz. How comes my confidential email address ('not to appear on the network') appears in my profile. Shome mishtake here shurely? I joined this site to escape not to expose myself!

Liz - you're elf is brilliant - I love the "festive" barn dance version. They really do make me chortle!
I think we need to get more HoL peeps "elf-ing" themselves this Christmas. I made one of Nige, but he didn't seem keen on uploading it to his page. Bahumbug!
Dear Liz,
Thank you so much for your comment on my pic of the 1930/31 Christmas play at South Harringay School. No drummer boys in my day, I'm afraid, just a Father Christmas (who, incidentally, was me!). The spirit gum used to attach the beard to my 6-year old face stung like hell !!
Kind regards,
Arthur
Hi Liz,
As discussed I can do that next week. It`s a three day week though as we work all seven this days this week it`s a strange shift pattern.
Next week we work Wed 12pm-8pm Thur 10am-6pm and Fri 7am-3pm.
Let me know what would suit you
Liz we executed a drugs warrant this morning and are now going to seize three maltreated dogs with the RSPCA at short notice as the owners are known to be violent so if you don`t mind I`m going to send Lisa around for your survey.
She has had the training
big apologies for not replying to your message till now. After the GRA AGM I was frantically busy meeting a big deadline for a book I have just finished working on. It was good to meet you too. Thanks for coming to our AGM and thanks for all the good stuff you do locally. I have just left a message for Birdy Too re the Sustainable Haringey group which is working on alternatives to plastic bags. I will send you a copy of the minutes to our AGM on your private email. all best wishes Lucy
Hi Liz - what sort of things are on at the Ladder Children's centre? My little boy's 13 months and a bit big and toddlerish for the baby group we used to go to! Am looking for different things to take him to locally.
Thanks!
Gill
Sorry I'm late in getting back to you.. I've just noticed your comment as it didn't appear on the board..
The answer to your question is no - I couldn't see the photos..
I have to say that I'm not too keen on the changes to the site so far.. - I presume things are still under construction.
I didn't want to beef 'up front', but I do miss not being able to see who's currently online - On the other hand, I don't like the other rather silly list of who's online as most entries are the same.. apart from me and a couple of others.. BTW, if you log to HOL via your blog you should a little plug for it - I do... apart from that - I suppose it's better to mail.. more private..
Hi Liz. I shall be punctilious about using the proper crossing from now on. Yes I'll definitely be in the Cyprus Kitchen on 23rd. I shall try to mute my enthusiasm for a Wightman Rd bus lest we split our WRN4RA down the middle!
Dear Liz,
Discussion on whether there was once a Woolies where Iceland now stands is obviously (and quite rightly) of interest to today's Harringay residents. But, back in the 1930s, I think the nearest Woolies to me was in Wood Green! And each evening, at the end of a day's trading, the young lady assistants had to sweep the mahogany-strip wooden floor with wide brooms and a mixture of damp tea-leaves and some sort of disinfectant, which smelled strongly of carbolic. As they swept, the shop's gramophone (!) played Suzette Tari singing Red Sails in the Sunset. (Older HoL members may know what I mean).
There was also a Bon Marche in Wood Green because I recall my mother buying her summer frocks (what a lovely old word) there! My recollection is that they also sold dress-making material by the yard, and my mother and her sister used to compare notes on whether the crepe de chine at 1/11 3/4d a yard was a 'good buy'. (I'll explain 1/11 3/4d if you need it).
I greatly enjoy signing-on to read HoL every other day, but to be honest it does make me feel extraordinarily old! But then I am 86, so that's no surprise really.
Warmest wishes to you and to Hugh. You are both doing a splendid job for the 'land of my birth'.

Hi Liz! Good to see you last night. What a bizarre meeting. It only really dawned how bizarre when I was describing it to John afterwards, especially the mass trader walk out ..
Anyway, a banal question. I'm changing my email address - is there somewhere I can this on the site or do I just need to tell you and Hugh what the new one is?
Thanks for this. As you know the 12 Warham Road saga has been ongoing for some years and I have been dealing with it for sometime now. I will get in touch with Planning and Enforcement to see where we are with things. I will come back to you as soon as I have any further news.
Thanks Liz, I am just loving this site! Sure wish I had some photos of the Harringay area back then. My family must not have believed in taking pictures. Only have good memories.
Hi Liz, thanks for joining Friends of the Paddock group. I don't know if you know the Paddock, but it's on Ferry Lane and is a gorgeous place, hidden away from every day hussle and bussle. Bye for now
Jeanette
Hi Liz and Hugh. I'm playing at the Earl Haig Hall this Saturday at 2pm. It's an Oxjam festival with beer, food, kids face painting, a majic man, raffle and lot's of live music and a DJ to end the evening. Could you promote it for us? I think Steve who is running it added something about it before. Chris Lampard
