A thread for those of us on the march today :)

Weather still looking good, (perhaps, possibly, even some sunshine?) temps around 12-14, a little gusty at times, cooling off in the evening, so bring an extra jumper if you haven't set off.

Travel safely and see you at the march!

Really proud of you all! I wish I could be with you today. I'm enabling a friend to march, when she would not otherwise be able to, by providing her with accommodation tonight, but still feel that I'm not doing enough.

CaptainBrickbeard - thank you. You've phrased that far better than I ever could!

Canshopwillshop · 23/03/2019 08:34

Good luck everyone. Have a fab day. Sorry I can’t be there.

beverlymarsh · 23/03/2019 08:36

Thank you @twofingerstoEverything! Just wanted to double check. Hope everyone has a fantastic day!!!

helenisafabname · 23/03/2019 08:38

Have a fab day !!!

NoWordForFluffy · 23/03/2019 08:39

Have a great day! Thank you to you all for standing up and being counted on behalf of those of us who can't come.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 23/03/2019 08:40

I'm setting off now. Not sure how much I can be on here, but will try and pop in and out. Keep an eye on the size of the thread please and start a new one if we need it.

Have a good day everyone!

I hope it makes the news in a positive way-not, ‘fights started in london by troublesome protestors’ type hysteria.

Shambalawadeewadee · 23/03/2019 08:44

DH and I are going! We’re lucky that we are already in the SE but I really admire those travelling long distances to march. See you all there Smile

Lexilooo · 23/03/2019 08:47

We're on the M1 now, DH driving and me mumsnetting. We have a shoddy placard and I will remember to get my whistle out of my bag!

Becstarlenski · 23/03/2019 08:47

Thank you for going, I can’t make due to work commitments, but i’ll be with you all in spirit 🇪🇺

PortiaCastis · 23/03/2019 08:49

I've arrived at Paddington from Cornwall so far so good, quite tall fair hair red backpack red top and leather bomber hoping to meet other Mners so if you spot me say hi please

TheElementsSong · 23/03/2019 08:50

We’re making an early start!

Drove down to outside London yesterday evening - there was no sign of the threatened blockade on the M1 BTW. And now we’re on the Tube heading in.

"I hope it makes the news in a positive way-not, ‘fights started in london by troublesome protestors’ type hysteria."

Funny, isn't it? We have to see Brexit through because otherwise the far right might riot, but any trouble even remotely connected with today's protest is bound to be used as a reason not to listen to us.

@OohMrDarcy is it too late to change your mind? One thing is for sure today - you will not be alone! You will be surrounded by good-natured, like-minded people. I inadvertently ended up “on my own” at the October march (because sheer numbers of people meant that our group didn’t all find each other) but it was a fantastic experience.

AndItStillSaidFourOfTwo · 23/03/2019 08:54

Have a fab day! With you in spirit (from rural Germany).

Peridot1 · 23/03/2019 08:55

Have a fab day everyone ‘wasting’ your Saturday. What better way to ‘waste’ a day. I too wish I could be there. I donated to the GoFund me so have paid for someone’s travel expenses instead.

🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺

tinytemper66 · 23/03/2019 08:56

It is too far for me and impractical this weekend but good luck and stay safe!

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 23/03/2019 08:56

Best of luck to everyone on the march!

PostNotInHaste · 23/03/2019 09:02

DH and I on a Dorset bus, we have just arrived at Southampton to join buses leaving from there by the look of it.

My toothbrush is a touch anaemic and more pink than red.

CourageCallsToCourage · 23/03/2019 09:11

I've survived my overnight bus trip from Edinburgh; now to kill time till 12... can't wait to see the turnout!

Twitter showing that 4 of the top 5 trending hashtags are about the march (the exception being something to do with cats).

Chester coaches practicing songs.

On schedule after a loo stop.

Thanks for new thread.

4 million mark yay!

Kayleidogyn · 23/03/2019 09:17

I’m coming along, but got my dog with me, so might just walk along Park Lane & see you all.

Helmetbymidnight · 23/03/2019 09:21

Just about to take the train.

Woop! Looking forward to being there.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 23/03/2019 09:23

On the train Grin
