Blimey a demo?!!! Been at work today so not uptodate with what is going on.

Carmenere · 09/08/2006 18:05

I'm sick in bed and speaking to you via the laptop Don't think I'll be able to come

Quootiepie · 09/08/2006 18:04

is pimlico nearer?

Quootiepie · 09/08/2006 18:03

Bracknell, to Clapham junction on train then on to Vauxhall... train or tube, im not sure.

proudofmyboobs · 09/08/2006 18:01

OOh cloth nappies swinging from the clothes line would be bloody fantastic! Maternity Bras too!!

With lots of coloured clothes pegs!

My only concern with pages attached to a clothes line is that if it rains they get wet..oooh unless they are in those clear wallets that you get for ring binders??

merrily · 09/08/2006 18:01

Quootiepie - do you mean you're getting the train from Bracknell to Vauxhall? (sorry don't know trains in that neck of the woods) You can walk to Random House from Vauxhall Station so there's no need to get on the Tube?

cye · 09/08/2006 17:59

opposite direction! sorry...

Quootiepie · 09/08/2006 17:53

bracknell - clapham - vauxhall

Orlando · 09/08/2006 17:52

Think the washing line is a great idea and strikes absolutely the right note...

But needs organising. If we're doing it, should everyone email an A4 page, saying what mumsnet has done for them (be that one sentence or many) to some very heroic person/people who can print them out and attach to line?

(BTW, live too far away to come to demo, but do want to be represented somehow)

cye · 09/08/2006 17:52

where you comong from quootiepie? if you need help on tube we'll be coming from finsbury park... any good?

Quootiepie · 09/08/2006 17:44

id love to come but im abit scared as ive never travelled on tube alone...

merrily · 09/08/2006 17:41

Forgot to add Vauxhall station is about 5-10 minutes walk, just cross over the bridge.

merrily · 09/08/2006 17:39

god i would love to come to this! I used to work at RH. Unfortunately can't make it.

Pimlico is the nearest tube - it's about 3 minutes walk from RH offices. If you're coming from Victoria station, allow 15 minutes to walk down Vauxhall Bridge Road.

AvaLou · 09/08/2006 17:38

I can yoink DH's snappy digital slr camera for the occasion, to record it for musnet in general!

LiliLaGuillotine · 09/08/2006 17:34

Oh I wish I could come!!
can't even do the photo bit (brilliant idea!) as no digital camera in the house...
grrrr

wannaBe1974 · 09/08/2006 17:34

I contacted liberty earlier today by email.

Scoobydooooo · 09/08/2006 17:34

Bimey if they are already onto this they are probably reading this thread too, oh well at least they will know what to expect

Loving the washing line & also the nappies on sticks.

AvaLou · 09/08/2006 17:32

No friends who don't have work commitments (unless we'll still be there at lunch break) but I have no shame so can recruit random street people at the location if necesary!

edam · 09/08/2006 17:32

Or go to streetmap.com and put in SW1V 2SA if my link doesn't work...

Like washing line, need long string and lots of pages about how MN has helped you! Or nappies on sticks to wave about, or gags!

ledodgyrobespierre · 09/08/2006 17:30

Why don't you get everyone that can't make it to photograph themselves with taped mouths which we can email to one of you and you can stick all the prints onto a plackard.

edam · 09/08/2006 17:30

Outside 20 Vauxhall Bridge Road, SW1V 2SA, Pimlico tube on Victoria line - see map

AvaLou · 09/08/2006 17:30

I can get there, but only be 10.30 ish, hope it helps!

spidermama · 09/08/2006 17:28

How about morningpapers idea of a washing line with posts about how MN has helped people interspersed with socks.

We need something to keep it light and humourous and mumsy to win the attention or even affection of the press and public.

I am going to try my best to make this. I'll come straight from work.

edam · 09/08/2006 17:26

Allow half an hour from Paddington - you need to get on Bakerloo line to Oxford Circus and change to Victoria line to either Pimlico or Victoria, wil check their address on streetmap and confirm.

spidermama · 09/08/2006 17:25

What about Liberty. Has anyone contacted them about this?
