But yeah. I worked in The Hare for years and it happened. Generally someone would pop in, I'd shake my head and they'd leave. Any punters wanting to buy anything would go out and find them *shrug*

After dark swimming at London Fields Lido just got the go-ahead
This is what the floodlights will look like.
Eight floodlights are going to be installed at London Fields Lido to allow swimming after dark at the pool throughout the year.
The eight-metre high floodlights will mean the pool can open until 9pm all year round, instead of the current closing time of 6pm in the summer and 4pm in the winter.
Floodlights will also mean the pool can open at 6.30am every morning instead of 8am during the winter months.

Nice friendly bunch in there. Great selection of beers. Pricing fits in well with my intentions to drink a bit less

One on one? You're crazy.
read that earlier - I was involved in that project for about a year (over 10 years ago) when no building work had been done in about 15 years - I think the whole project started in the late 80s!
I'm guessing here - but I reckon the posh block with the view of the reservoir is supposed to be high end , to make a fat profit and fund works elsewhere. That said, the flat that was sold for £1m! Someone is going to wake up one day and think, WTF, I spend £1m and i live in Manor House?
The standard for Local Authority redevelopment schemes nowadays does seem to involve a lot of private funding at the expense of social housing

A shed on a ditch.
I saw that too, fascinating article. Just sent it to two of my colleagues, long time Hackney residents, both nearly 40, both married, both dual incomes (relatively small incomes mind) no kids, both would like to stop renting privately and buy a flat. This pretty much spells out why they cant and why they never will be able to.

that would have described us (well *cough* except I'm nearly 50) but we were lucky enough to buy a flat in 1997

I have read various bits and pieces about Woodberry Down before - interesting article, nothing of which surprises me at all. I imagine it's the same problem in lots of places, council tenants being squeezed out and having to rent in the private sector.
I feel very sorry for the disabled lady, being stuck on her own in that old block, not surprised she has anxiety and depression!

I hope that Hackney have made some offers to her - can't remember if it said she was a tenant or leaseholder.
I have been involved in a few Decant programmes and ime, there are a few tenants who hold out to the bitter end in the hope of getting a perfect flat. Ultimately the council can take legal action to force her to move - or force her to accept an offer on the flat. I don't know if this is the case with this particular tenant as things often don't run smoothly. i was involved in a decant programme in Tower Hamlets where during a last check on a block that was due to be demolished, they found some leaseholders in a flat who had simply not moved out when they sold the property back to Tower Hamlets
and had lived there rent free for well over a year, when asked why they hadn't moved out - said that they had been saving up to buy a nicer flat on the coast Tower hamlets should at least have visited when they sold the property, and changed the locks, etc - but seemed to have forgotten all about it
Ritzy staff were demonstrating outside the Picturehouse earlier about not getting the living wage. They'd moved a q &a with Steve Coogan there from the Ritzy due to evil striking workers potentially disrupting things so the evil striking Ritzy workers headed to Hackney to spread the love...

I for one would hate for the 2014 roadshow to be disrupted by industrial action.

Interesting article, I live in that area and I've seen the Hatzola ambulance many times (well, there are two in Stamford Hill I believe) but not been aware of the Shomrim.

Last night I went to cafe route by Dalston station - delicious food but they were late in their delivery - my food arrived about 30 minutes after my mates - their response was way over the top for this - my bill ended up being wiped with a bottle of wine to take home!! I actually felt guilty and called them this morning on the phone to say that whilst appreciated it was too much generosity!
Tonight I went to voodoo rays for the first time and the pizza was to die for!

Interesting. I've been very tempted, but put off by mediocre reports.
