A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - OpinioN8 update - 18th December 2014

Dear OpinioN8 Administrator

Thoughts of Christmas as a squirrel eats a mince pie, and children in pubs bring out the scrooge in some of us

Shops
A picture of the Christmas Craft Fair and news of a hairdresser relocation and a new beer emporium

Eating and drinking
I've made a New Year Resolution to beef up our Eating and Drinking with some tasty reviews - please let us have your contributions.

Local politics and activism
Please let Haringey know what you think of the plans to demolish the BBC studios at Alexandra Palace , this very thoughtful piece from local conservationists makes a good case. The deadline for comments on plans to demolish the old Hornsey Journal building has been extended until February., 

Recreation
Work proceeds on our second cinema. Hornsey Town Hall has been re-opened to the public and here are details of the NYE ball.
