Hi, sorry to copy the title of another post further down but as that was for afternoons I wondered if anyone whose child is going to Heber in the mornings would like to meet up so our kids can get to know each other a bit. We could do the same as the afternoon group and meet at Peckham rye park cafe where we can all grab a coffee and they can all run about outside. Would anyone be interested and then we can fix a date.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, have had a few responses re those going for the morning session at Heber. Not everyone can make the afternooners meetup so thought we'd do one on another day. Can anyone else make the 24th for a peckham ryecafe meetup? Say 10.30am
Great, if I position myself in the outside bit of the cafe on one of the picnic benches where the wooden animals are. I've got a petrol blue/turquoise bugaboo with my baby and my little boy, hopefully we can all identify each other x

Great to see all of you who made it today and for all the kids to play together. I think meeting up now makes it all a bit less daunting for us and them! A few of us were saying, when some of you had left, that it would be nice to do another meetup before they start. I know there were quite a few of you about to go on holiday so how about leaving it a few weeks and doing another Peckhma rye park meetup. How about Wednesday the 21stAugust? We could do the picnic, doggy free area in Peckham rye park say from 11am and bring blankets and picnic bits so we don't have to worry about their lunch. I'm completely easy on dates so happy for other suggestions if that doesn't work.

It was lovely to see you all today and we would love to meet up again. 21st works for us. Katgod - I'll pm you. Tilly made a miraculous recovery, I have no idea what that was all about. I'll put it on my list of "things I will never understand about my kids", it will be next in the list after "why does my three year old insist on taking an onion to the park?"

    • 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.
