Guess that'll be why we've got no water coming out of the taps.

Yes, there's more info on Crispys thread in London forum. This is just up the road from where the water main burst up through the tarmac near the old childrens hospital, just a few months ago, so I think it's probably from the same water main.

Thanks. Do you know how much a restoration would cost?

Not cheap - and dependent on how much people do some work for free or at a discount. I would say start at £10K.

And then there are the tricoteuses.

I've only just got around to looking up what that means.

Very Appropriate!

And a small reminder that stitch and bitch still meet every Wed from 8ish in the Effra Social

We just had an offer for a house accepted in Walthamstow. So I guess we're gentrifiers being forced out by gentrification.

Forget crack squirrels. I have been clearing out my shed and they have eaten holes in two things. An almost full bottle of meths and a half full plastic petrol container.
