Louisa - stick the sweets up your jumper as if pregnant and on 'delivery' you meet the true definition of 'yummy mummy'.

You can conceal a lot more illicit popcorn in a bugaboo than a traditional buggy.

Picturehouse are cheaper than the Odeon in Surrey Quays. Peckhamplex is notably cheaper than anywhere else - that is it selling point and you would probably complain if Picturehouse went after Peckhamplex on price I suspect. As it is, it's competing on different terms which means more choice.

If you prefer what Peckhamplex does, you can go there instead. It's all good. I suspect I will visit both on different occasions and for different reasons. Still very excited about Picturehouse opening.

You can read what they're offering (admittedly, this is to some extent marketing spiel) here: http://www.picturehouses.co.uk/cinema/East_Dulwich_Picturehouse Basically a diverse range of films and live events. Big comfy seats and a decent cafe/bar.

By the way, before anyone kicks off about 'Guardianistas', the eponymous paper is a big fan of PeckhamPlex http://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2013/jun/11/cine-files-peckhamplex

I don't. We've got a no frills cinema offering cheap tickets in Peckham. I want one which offers a greater range of events, nicer surroundings, a good cafe / bar and I don't mind paying a little more for it frankly. I'm not doing down PeckhamPlex, but it's a different offering - which is good as it gives us more choice locally.

I sympathise with some of the reservations about ?street art?, how it?s been co-opted, sanitised and commercialised (and become arguably, just a bit naff). All that said, it?s better than advertising, or just a plain hoarding. The new cinema can only be a good thing for the area IMO. At the very least, you may feel indifferent, but I don?t get the actual anger that some posters seem to be venting. I wonder how much it really has to do with street art or the cinema at all.

My EDF bingo card is almost full. So far I have 'middle class' 'Guardian' and 'trendies'. I just need 'yummy mummies' to get a full house.

Not sure that street art scene is anything to do with 'hippies'

@VicCraven - thanks for the updates and for sharing your excitement at the new cinema.

Has anyone got a picture of the hoardings they can post?

Very excited. It's going to be great to have a cinema just round the corner.

Whilst we have a representative of Picturehouses on the forum..... is there any truth that you're looking to open another cinema up the road in Forest Hill?

How do you know whether you're one of the first 1000?

About the same as manufacturing then. gsirett Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- In 2011, the FS sector contributed > nearly 10% to this country's GVA; between > 2005-11, the FS sector contributed 122 BILLION in > tax revenues to the exchequer[1] > > > In hard times, we always look to blame others. > > > [1] (source > https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s& > source=web&cd=3&ved=0CDYQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww > .parliament.uk%2Fbriefing-papers%2Fsn06193.pdf&ei= > EMvDU7zvGIXW0QXm74DYBA&usg=AFQjCNEZiCnQQfOfYGl83B2 > 2ondDPz4_iw&sig2=8kaKBJxLk5eE8Nvt5mS_6g)

Not allergies, 'intolerances'. You're forgetting School catchment areas too. Seabag Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I quite like house prices rising by 20% > > It makes diner parties way more interesting, well > that and talking about allergies.

I don't know, is it? Seems you're starting the rumour, so you should must have some idea, no? Personally I am no fan of Carluccios. Whatever happened to the sushi rumour?

There was a lady walking down the middle of the road this morning, reading her phone messages and seemingly oblivious of where she was. I slowed down and cycled past, giving her a wide birth and she looked up and 'tsked' me!

If all the teachers, firefighters etc. who were striking yesterday, left to get other jobs we'd be in a bit of a pickle don't you think?

It was built up too much and now I'm disappointed.
