No skin off my nose either way. I would have preferred the cash to be spent in Camberwell but I will not let my resentment cloud my judgement. It's an area on the up. Massively so.

Definitely would support a Hooters on LL. All this exposed tiddy stuff should be ignored. The girls are fully clothed in orange hot pants and stretchy white vest tops. It's only called Hooters because the owl is their logo. The airline went bust. (no pun intended.)

Lindisfarne- just a band... and an Island.

I suspect that a number of people are making the same flawed assumption here. Foxtons are waving their commission but I'm sure the sales negotiators will still get their sales commission. The company will make up the difference out of their promotions budget. The offer will in no way disincentivise agents from selling houses. That would be ridiculous.

Ace of Base, just a band...

What was the score?

You obviously haven't been there for a while *Bob*. Try getting a table at Petitou on Saturday morning... http://www.timeout.com/london/bars/reviews/8128.html

Wasn't Jim Morrison a smack head? All Doherty has done wrong is outlive his popularity.

I like crisps, chips, cheap cars with alloy wheels, McDonald's, Arctic Roll and Roy Chubby Brown. I hate fruit, expecially smoothies, and anything with leaves in it. What stereotypes do you conform to? ie what are you and what does that imply about your likes and dislikes?

Hooters is a restaurant. Suberb chicken wings.

Hooters is a great American export but we've only imported it into Nottingham. (Home of Robin Hoodie) Why don't they open a Hooters on Lordship Lane?

You might believe you have got healing hands but you are certainly not mad Madworld.

My Grandma always said 'If the Jehovos come knocking, take a leaflet and send them on their way. Don't try to get any sense out of them because they're f*cking nutters.' I expect a few good people on here would invite them in and try to convert them to athiesm. Don't bother. Even if you manage it they'll never thank you. Brian - you're not the messiah you're a very naughty boy.

I drink in the Buckle and beg outside most nights. I have to be honest though I can walk home from there so I actually spent the 10p on a packet of space invader crisps. The super T can is empty. I carry it for protection. I have never been begged or bothered when I carry my can and have in fact found it a good source of cash for snacks. The dog end was spliff. I smoke marijuana morning noon and night and listen to UB40 discreetly on one earphone of my walkman. Stop me and say Hi - but don't ask for your money back...

There are thousands of legitimate avoidance schemes that are not listed in your link.

I don't think IHT is unfair in principle but rather in application. As you say it is paid by dead people and if well applied it would prevent the perpetuation of privilege and inequality but as it is most really rich people do not pay it. Gifting and waiting 7 years is the most crude for of avoidance. There are many more sophisticated forms such as placing assets into trust, passing on businesses, farms and other exempt business assets or using insurance policies that pay into trust but as this information is available to everyone then I'm sure you know all about it. The end result is that it is a tax on a certain section of the population who own their own home, with a value in excess of the threshold, which they need to live in and therefore cannot give away in advance. This is the typical situation for an East Dulwich based family and that is why I thought the Forum would support John Redwood's call for it to be scrapped but as has been pointed out the forum has no opinion of its own and merely provides a place for forumites to express their opinions. That's a shame as I think a united forum would posses a powerful lobby.

Stamp duty is another stupid tax. The number of sales that happen just below the threshold clearly show that the tax is distorting the market. I agree with *Bob*. It's the complex structure of the taxes that make them so ridiculous. I would not like to see our tax burden reduced I would just like to see everything simplified. It is important to also realise that raising the rate of a tax doesn't necessarily increase the revenue collected.

There is no sense in trying to buy a house for under the IHT threshold as the IHT payable is based on the market value of the property on death.

I get it! A Foxtons Glacier Mint. Very clever.

0800 FOXTONS 0800 369 8667 They are going to make a mint..

Every family home in ED is worth in excess of ?300,000 and will therefore be liable for IHT in someone's death estate. That means that when you die your kids will have to find significant capital sums to pay the tax bill so that they can continue to live in the family home. Would I be right in assuming that the ED forum is right behind John Redwood's proposals to ditch inheritance tax? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=475810&in_page_id=1770
