Is the message your long suffering employer will hear on their answer phone at 8.55am tomorrow. Meanwhile, a bottle of tequila and the new Leonard Cohen album is blaring out into the wee small hours of Clapton.

Some info on Hackney Gutter Press, a short-lived radical newspaper from the early 1970s. Focus on claimants, squatters, etc:

Also there is an oral history project in the offing about Centerprise:

there's some strange confusion going on in the council as this 2008 document shows http://www.hackney.gov.uk/Assets/Documents/DRAFT_Masterplan_Options_Report_20080319_-_1.pdf
look first at page 6, and cast your eye down the aap reference number on the left hand side till you come to 21, referring to the tescos at 284 kingsland road, just south of lee street by haggerston station.
now look at page 7 and see where the council think 284 kingsland road is: which turns out to be the tescos where the blockbusters used to be opposite the rio. - 130a kingsland high street. only on the planning permissions for the site it's 130. which in itself is strange as in 1953 that plot was 128 kingsland high street.
now look at aap reference 30: the peacock's site opposite ridley road. that's described as 51-57. only it's 51-55 because 57 is the station.
aap 38a: ridley road market & units along ridley road: address unknown. ADDRESS UNKNOWN? don't the council run the market?
now look at this map off the council website for cctv cameras:
http://www.map.hackney.gov.uk/gisMapGallery/Maps/Other/CCTV Camera Locations/LBH_CCTV_Camera_Locations.pdf
the camera at the entrance to ridley road is 1412. looking at the key, this is a tfl camera - apparently in bradbury street!
if you actually read the council documents they're riddled with errors like this and the one about the cctv camera could cost lives if ambulances, police, fire brigade directed to wrong location.

I remember the queues and having to go back numerous times.
Yep. Was meant to be open until 8 o'clock tonight. Turned up at quarter to. Was closed. Banged on the shutter, guy came out, said if they actually closed at 8 they've never get out of there so tough, come back tomorrow morning. Given it takes me a good half hour to get there and the last time I waited an hour at that time and it's then 50 minutes from there to my work, that's not exactly practical.
This was to pick up this parcel that they sent back the last time after I'd tried to pick it up three times, having waited an hour in the queue each time.
It's actually less bad than it used to be -- before four different postcode areas were served by one window (with, invariably, one person serving). Now they've got two windows with two postcodes each and have extended their opening hours a bit. Still bloody awful though.

There is quite a good GLA proposal to run a cycle/walk "green route" from Manor House tube through the reservoirs and then on to Springfield Park and Walthamstow marshes.
It's one of a few proposals that people can vote on to get the funding:
