Pardon me, but why does Pizza Express in Richmond have to do with Mumsnet?

Pizza Express in Richmond are closed for some new relaunch. They have hordings obscuring the windows describing all the things they are going to be doing without saying anything at all and they reference Mumsnet.

So, MNHQ, what's happening?

And yes I know I am nosey but I am also a bit brazen

Link here - but what does it mean?

JustAnotherManicMummy · 15/09/2010 22:21

Wow you lot have been busy!

If they have a crèche, comfy seats & free decent chilled white wine with every pizza I'd go.

Hell I'll go almost anywhere for crèche facilities!

A DJ in a pizza restaraunt?

Aitch · 15/09/2010 22:23

i hope it comes up here soon, last time i was in pizza express it was seriously shite.

JustAnotherManicMummy · 15/09/2010 22:24

But I expect it'll be a load of Boden-wearing yummy-mummies complaining and whispering about bumsex knocking back cheap wine and MNing on their ipads.

Oh I know what I like Grin

"Take two people with assorted CVs:

A few years? web design.
A pinch of BBC radio.
A sprinkle of publishing, with a dash of Penguin.
A smidgen of trend strategy.
Then the pièce de résistance, strategy director, oh la la!
With a garnish of branding, tone of voice and naming.
A soupçon of BAFTA nomininations and D&ADs.
And a slug of words.
Whizz it all together.

Pour and serve."

Sorry - that was from Ewe's link. Those are the PR people.

usualsuspect · 15/09/2010 22:31

Well I live nowhere near Richmond so I don't care

CupcakesHay · 15/09/2010 22:31

maybe they're going to start selling MN pizzas....

"AIBU Pizza - plenty of chilli and extra spice"

"Living Abroad Pizza - Garlic, Ostrich and Houmous"

"Where are all the nice men Pizza - salami, more salami and plenty of meat"

We need to do something naughty to get the attention of HQ so they respond!

StealthPolarBear · 15/09/2010 22:36

I assume we're talking about Richmond daan sarf? Otherwise I will volunteer to try it out if you need me to :o
Maybe it will be divided into many sub areas. There'll be the AIBU section where people are divided over whether their children should be allowed to get down and walk round, a Pedants' Corner where the huddled masses are deciding whether the one without tomato technically counts as a pizza or whether it should be in the speciality breads section of the menu, and a breast and bottle feeding section which has a pushchair park, a row of sling pegs, water coolers dotted around and hooter hiders to plonk on the heads of anyone who is tutting.

JustAnotherManicMummy · 15/09/2010 22:36

Yy a plan! That's what we need. Well done ewe

StealthPolarBear · 15/09/2010 22:38

AIBU to demand something up north??
Just some nice ham on a cocktail stick with our starters would go down a treat

HelenMumsnet · 15/09/2010 22:39

Hello. And lololol at all your posts.

Afraid to say that I know nuffink - that CarrieMumsnet is keeping her pizzas very close to her chest.

But tomorrow, I will feed her doughballs until she tells all ask her for an update...

treedelivery · 15/09/2010 22:41

I bet Xenia has bought Pizza Express.

JustAnotherManicMummy · 15/09/2010 22:41

Oh no, I am doing advertising surely?

OP posts:
MrsTayto · 15/09/2010 22:41

I live in another country-- absolutely nowhere near Richmond and just shouldn't care a jot about what is happening, but I am marking my place....

JustAnotherManicMummy · 15/09/2010 22:50

Pmsl that is a really bad typo. But I have learnt something.

If it is a Friday night we will take our sporns. Otherwise it will be our spawn.
