Roald Dahl & Imagination Seekers at Southbank

If anyone is going to this at the Southbank this week, just be aware that they take the kids off without the parents. Just behind a curtain, so not far. But a few kids are reluctant to go and parents are stressed. Thought it may help to be aware.


Kids sound like they're enjoying it - the ones who went. Parents may want to take coffee / a good book etc.

I just took my youngest and her friend. They were apparently told to tell their parents that it had been really boring and they hated it and keep it a secret what they did - because we wouldn't have enough imagination to appreciate what was so good about it. So it was actually quite hard to get an honest reaction as they totally took this to heart. But at the same time, there was a little murmer of 'it really was a bit boring' which I think was an honest comment. They didn't come out buzzing, as I would have expected from something they'd enjoyed. Impossible to tell though as the parents didn't see anything of what they did.


There are TONS of things going on around the RFH this week so I'm sure there will be other things that are good. It was totally heaving with kids today. If you do book online and need to pick up tickets, allow lots of time as at points there were big queues.

    • FredMarsh Started conversation: 6 minutes ago I must agree ! Shopping in Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill has become very unpleasant ! The erection of coral fencing  to herd us all in one direction so that we can be observed by security prior to getting into the "shop" is quite horrible. The fresh meat counter has gone . The fresh fish counter has gone. The fresh cheese counter has gone. Most of the staff have gone ! Just a couple of attended checkouts left,  sometimes just the one with people waiting quietly inline But most people are herded into the payment coral and wait just as long to do a redundant cashiers job. unload your own shopping, place your bag in the right position so that it can be weighed and the quietly pick each item you are about to purchase , look for the barcode and pass the item across the scanner. Then put item in shopping bag.  What could be easier or more efficient ? If something goes wrong or you are trying purchase alcohol, just look round nervously, not wanting to make a fuss. If nothing happens start waving to the overworked member of staff in a sainsburys uniform  running up and down looking after a few dozen self service checkouts Don't forget to take your receipt (piece of paper that will be screwed up and discarded discreetly  shortly afterwards )  It's essential to present your receipt in order to escape the coral. There's nothing pleasant about Sainsburys any more. ! Why do I go there? Because I can get the whole thing over with and not get a parking ticket !! And NO !   I'm 77 completely knackered and am not going to get a bike

    • We do not go there anymore, it used to be a pleasant experience, but now shoppers are made to feel like criminals and the prices are not great. The till receipt gates to stop us nicking stuff do not work half the time - I would rather shop somewhere that makes me feel welcome. We also want to support our local independents, so we are trying to eat cheaper using less costly ingredients and buy local - it's a good way for us also to lose some weight! Veg and pulses.....and less booze 😞
    • Has seemed really empty over the past few weeks, with hardly anyone in the store on Thursday lunchtime, have I missed something or are people shopping somewhere else?
