Oh dear - I'm of the lazy mum school of parenting. I'm off to Greenwich Picture House for the baby - friendly 'big scream' movie. This week it's Helen Mirren and James McEvoy in a film about Tolstoy's life and legacy.


I'll probably fall asleep after 10 minutes after the night I've had.


Starts at 11.30am.

Snowboarder - me too! The last few films we've tried to see with toddler I've spent most of the time either:


- apologising to our neighbours as she climbs over their laps

- running up and down the stairs, hunched over like Quasimodo, after her

- likewise with the big, as she sees it - running track, just in front of the screen

- or playing with the automatic doors into the car park (after I've totally given up!)


Does anyone know what age they actually start behaving and watching the film? I've seen the first 10 mins of so many films now!


ClareC - Greenwich, Brixton and, I think, CLapham all do 'Big Scream' films. It costs a pound to become a member, then you can go until your child is 1 year old. Just double check my info when you get a chance as the site is down at the mo, so I can't double check myself.

But there's a film every Wed at 11.30 and they have a good range between the popular blockbusters and more high brow stuff.


It's hiilarious going there - women with their boobs out bfing and babes crawling everywhere. Totally chaotic, but very friendly and welcoming. I've seen the odd chap there too - but they kept a very low profile and sat very low in their seats ;-)

My kids have been able to manage short animated films from about age three onwards. Test them out at home with a film first though!! I'm just waiting for my littlest one to 'come of age' then we can all go to the cinema on a rainy saturday afternoon...not that we get many of those in this country....

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
