Anyone going tomorrow? Just heard about the awful fire/s in the area, sounds terrible thick black smoke and people being told to stay indoors, close windows etc.

The 2 main tube lines are closed Jubliee & Metropolitan so not sure how on earth to get there. Ive read you could do Baker Street then walk to Marylebone the a Chiltern Train to Wembly Staudium Station. But severe delays there. Apparently smoke in air is intense. Not sure whether to contact theatre

What is everyone else doing?

Well it would help to know where you're going...

You do know this isn't a group WhatsApp with your mates??

Wembley judging by her post. Google says there is some some of street party. Thr Chiltern stop for Wembley Station is,a, good walk from the high street.

There’s been a huge fire at an industrial estate in Neasden (NW London) near Wembley Stadium which has affected the tube network. Something like 8 different lines are closed/disrupted.

From the post I’m guessing the OP is going to the theatre (“I might ring the theatre..”) but it’s also Notting Hill carnival this weekend (plus the usual concerts and stuff, and general London visitors/shoppers), and sounds like it might be extra chaotic and busy.

Yes I’m still going but I think Susan’s having trouble finding someone to look after the dogs.

Mums neighbour, Barbara, is having the kids.. I can check if she’s up to watching the dogs too?

ItsGooodToTalk · 29/08/2026 00:16

Hey Mumsnetters.... My friendship group are going to a mystery event, but it seems I have not been invited. I just learned about it on Mumsnet. Barbara is already babysitting someone else's kids and dogs. WWYD?

Eastie77Returns · 29/08/2026 00:57

@ItsGooodToTalk I’d go NC with that ‘friendship’ group, they sound vile.

Barbara is looking after my kids and dog btw. Hope you find someone else to help you out hun x

Stinkybooks · 29/08/2026 01:02

Ill be going to our local shops tomorrow to get some bread, eggs and probably some fruit/veg depending what they've got in. Do feel free to join me. No fires here so I think we will be alright.

Tubes um not sure - Penne Pasta?

GaaNeen · 29/08/2026 11:35

No, but I’m going to that other place we go sometimes - any good ??

UserName001002 · 29/08/2026 11:37

Jim at number 35s cat has gone missing again!

DecisionTime123 · 29/08/2026 11:37

Aw you all meanies to the OP, but that was nearly a MN classic in the making! I wonder if she went, and how Barbara is coping - I think she's taken on too much personally, common sense did not prevail eh?
