Maybe I am the only one, but I am planning my maternity leave around being able to go to the baby cinema! I have now confirmed that I'm going to send my toddler to our childminder on Mondays and Tuesdays but the Big Scream in Clapham and Brixton are Thurs/Fri.


Wondering if anyone has already looked into organising a Parent & Baby screening at the Peckham Plex (easy bus ride from most parts of E.D.)? Would there be demand for this do you think?


There are sessions on Mon/Tues at other cinemas around London, but I remember how daunting it seemed to trek very far with a new baby!


(Title edited in case people don't know about the Big Scream!)

If Peckham did mother and baby screenings I'd be tempted to go - keep thinking about the ones at he Ritzy, but, buses over to Brixton seem so unreliable (with a 10wk old you don't really want to head out much earlier than you need to!) and there isn't a car park nearby. Also put off by their recent offerings being really arty (am jealous a friend in Wimbledon got to go to Harry Potter as a mother and baby session!).


Doesn't seem to be any mother and baby screenings at Surrey Quays either (which does have a huge car park!).

I had an e mail from them recently saying they are planning starting a Big Scream session in January - they claim they will be offering coffee and cake as part of the ticket! Hooray! Might be something on their website about it- I havent checked...

Just to update that I emailed the Peckham Plex and Mae is right...they are launching a parent/baby screening in January. Here are the details:


"We are currently collecting names of interested parents, we hope to have sufficient numbers when we launch in January to make these screenings a viable option for us.


It will be held on Thursdays at 11.30am, the price of the tickets are ?5.99 which includes coffee & cake. We also have facilites such as pram park, baby changing and bottle warming facilities. Adults must be accompanied by a baby under 1 year old.


Once established we will of course review the time, day and number of screenings and will rely on customer feedback to tell us what they want."


You can email via the Peckham Plex website if you want to add your name to their customer list: http://www.peckhamplex.com/contact


Unfortunately it doesn't help with my Monday/Tuesday problem, but maybe if there is enough demand they'll introduce a second day!

Alieh - Maybe its worth editing the title of your initial post in order that people know that they should be signing up and showing interest in this new screening?

Sadly I start back at work on Monday 10th Jan otherwise would have met you all there!

      Milk delivery

      By Sue · Posted

      Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.

      Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days.

      I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
