quootiepie, i was gonna suggest that but then saw your going the other route, i was doing slough-paddington-tube, your welcome to join me if you'd feel more comfortable but i thought it would be too much hassle for u to come across

Quootiepie · 09/08/2006 19:42

i don't think it's a case of agreeing with the timing. it is rushed, no-one is saying it isn't, but if we want to get coverage, it has to be tomorrow. that's just how news works!
imo nobody is on the back foot but we have to keep the story moving to keep interest up.

TillyRose · 09/08/2006 19:14

Oh & I also think that people are not attending for the follwoing reasons:

  1. Those who would like to are either on holiday, looking after their kids or at work.

  2. Other do not agree with the timing of it or disagree full stop.

she will be strapped in her buggy - i wouldnt worry about that, and dad will be about too to watch her

J&RM - Vauxhall Bridge Road is a very busy place; please think twice before taking her. I wouldn't walk down the pavement there with a 2 year old let alone stand around for an hour or so.

If we go with the washing line idea then actual numbers wouldn't be too much of a stumbling block. If the washing line was long and full of emotive stories and items it would act as a silent statement all of its own.

Not ideal maybe, but more manageable?

We could all e-mail local press if enough could get to the nearest bookshop, good idea!

Quootiepie · 09/08/2006 19:01

wannaBe1974 · 09/08/2006 19:01

proudofmyboobs · 09/08/2006 18:59

How about spamming every forum/site you can think of Even football forums etc... and even the parenting forums, raisingkids, netmums, mumsunited etc..

misdee · 09/08/2006 18:58

outside a major book shop in towns may work!

alexsmilitantmum · 09/08/2006 18:57

have said this on other thread but there is no way i can get from manchester without leaving tonight and booking a hotel etc.i'm really sorry.
i will do the photo thing if it will help.

wannaBe1974 · 09/08/2006 18:57

hahaha misdee. seriously though good luck for tonight

regional might work, there are a few people here that might protest somewhere ... but where though? outside book shops maybe?
