"Hi Paul - Sorry about delay replying. The fan would be useful. The question for me is whether I'd be able to collect. Can you please tell me roughly where it would need to be collected? We live near the junction of St Ann's Road and…"

"Gentrification would be when the regeneration of an area leads to an exodus of poorer residents and an influx of wealthier people. What happened, famously, in Islington from the late 1960s has already happened in Stoke Newington, and could occur…"

Crouch End Broadway 1975 - when Gails was a Kentucky!
"Thank you for posting this, Hugh. Very revealing. As already commented: old cars! More like 1960 than 1970. It is a real "blast from the past" - sobering for me, as I was approaching 30, and my first "proper" job in the centre of…"

Hi Christopher,
I've still got the speakers, amp, tape deck and CD player. Let me know if you'd still like them - someone else is potentially interested in the amp, so can you let me know soonish so I can tell hime whether or not its still available.
My boyfriend works from home so there's generally someone around most of the time.
