Wonderful Wifi at Walthamstow Central Library (currybetdotnet)

martin.belam@currybet.net — Sun, 04 May 2008 06:23:47 GMT

The ratio of moaning and complaining to praise on this blog is always far too much of the former and not enough of the latter , so I thought I'd just write a few words in praise of the web services offered at Walthamstow Central Library by the London Borough of Waltham Forest . The heart of the library is a listed building. It was where, in the 1970s, I first started getting addicted to reading...

B&Q in Waltham Forest is like the branch that time forgot. I was up early-ish this morning, and with the weather so glorious, I thought I'd take advantage of London's lie-in (the roads don't seem to get busy until about midday at weekends) to go and get some paint I needed at B&Q. So off Jessica*, the Corsa and I toddled to Leyton. They have a splendid "Entrance" sign... with a bollard right...
