Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
The Crouch End Cakewalk!
OpinioN8 would like to invite some of you HOL-ers to join in discussions on issues, news and views of Crouch End and Hornsey.
So far the conversations are dominated by a rather shouty man and a dog poo obsessed lady calling herself the CrouchEnd Cupcake. I think they'd like some people to chime in! If you're in the N8 locale, do pop over and join them. Not instead of HOL, heaven forfend, but to compliment all the wonderful things you can get involved in on here.
Come and have a look and see what's happening - worth it just for news on the Crouch End Cakewalk.

Wow, 15 minutes of fame for clearing dog poo! Isabelle took the picture -she's got a career as a photographer ahead of her I think.

I'm beginning to think that Policemen should be at least 30. Ridiculous behaviour.

It was actually two WPCs. One was trying to suppress her laughter whilst the other was trying to be firm and sensible. There was no menace involved and I respected their stance - I was chalking a park wall at one in the morning so I suppose they couldn't just drive on by. I suspect I was reported by a curtain twitcher as they drove by twice before they stopped! But I was in my pyjamas with wild hair, hardly a sinister looking hoody packing a spray can.

Hilarious! Well done!
This comments seems a bit, well, lame and shows why this is such an ongoing problem:
Haringey Council’s enforcement officers regularly patrol what they see as “dog fouling hotspots” and have erected signs in these areas reminding owners that they could be fined for failing to pick up after their dogs.
"Reminding" is not the same as "actually catching and actually fining". Just saying..
Keep up the good, erm, cupcakes! :)

Thanks Anette. I'm not actually intending to do any more scooping - it's just too hideous but I'll keep up with the cupcakes so the street cleaners can identify the poo piles!

I saw a silver poo on Wightman Road the other day, was very impressed - it looked quite ornate!

All sorts of media attention today, Telegraph (my parents will be so proud), the Daily Mail, an interview on LBC radio, an interview on Vanessa Feltz' BBC London show and, a live interview on London Tonight! I may post links later but this little bout of insomnia seems to be coming to an end and my eyelids are drooping.
I've been dubbed the Cupcake Crusader! My mission: to rid our streets of this scourge of dog poo!
As I always suspected, my 15 minutes of fame by talking sh*t!

. . . . and meanwhile that transatlantic monstrosity, "cupcake", gains ever wider media currency. So far, I think, it hasn't reached the BBC radio or TV "news" - so at least my licence isn't supporting it yet.

And out of all this good work to further an important cause that's blighting our children's play areas, parks and pavements, that's your issue. Brilliant, hurray, huzzah! Would have chosen a more British sounding moniker but Crouch End Bun just didn't have the far reaching campaign "legs".
