I would have thought that since most rail entusiasts are males - the thoughts of severl hundred women with their norksoout would attract a crowd.

I just hate flash mob things.

I'd have emailed FGW▸ (First Great Western) myself but I really just have a few texts (but at least three don't know each other so must be getting info independently) and I don't want to be responsible for an over reaction

I'd hope with three days someone can pose as an attender on the FB site and get the exact location - I can't as I can't pretend to be a BF▸ (Brake First (carriage)) woman due to my kiddie issues

I doubt there will be much difference in the running of Paddington - not against the law to breastfeed as far as I know.

its actually the opposite, mothers with children upto 6 months are protected so that they can .... but to be honest if these people can organize en mass a group 'prat about ' at major landmarks and stations within london and just vanish without the authorities knowing its going to happen, i find this pretty scary, and to be honest i wouldn't appreciate it happening around me!

No its not but did you see what they did at the trafford centre yesterday

If they get a decent number and they all jus decide to sit on the concourse, get their norks out, and sit there for up to an hour - they can't be moved on because they are breast feeding - they can make it damn awkward for people going about their business

At least they havent chosen 1800 on  fridya

I'm sure they can be moved to somewhere more comfortable?

Wouldn't they be a brood of tits, rather than a bunch?  Undecided
