rutabowa has a kid. My colleague lives in Tottenham with kids, she's not afraid.

£3.50 jerk chicken, rice and peas and array of salad. amongst my favourite london eateries despite of price. :)

yeah... i think it's a bit dissimilar having a 2 year old than having a kid at secondary age. who knows we might love it and choose to stay! although if not then it won't have any bad consequence on the kid as they will only have been at nursery/preschool, and all kids are nice enough at that age.

Tottenham is pretty large too i have learnt... where we are going to be is a few km from turnpike lane, and a few km from seven sisters too. vast range of areas in that area.

weirdly that isn't on the menu

yeah, it's quite a stretch of all manner of areas.

should be a "daily meal deal". i think there will be more jerk chicken places up closer to me.... i expect.

i looked at the new postcode in one of those crime diagram things where puts a point wherever a crime has been done in the last year and it looked pretty bad... however then i put in the postcode where we have lived joyfully for the last 5 years and it was like 3 times worse.

Yeah, but I know that your child is under 4. Who can say where anybody will be in 8 years!

yes that's what i think... worth giving it a try. done now anyway! there is a well reviewed nursery school jst nearby so that's a start.
