The Real Greek, gets decent reviews across the chain and will I'm sure be a success. Captive customer base anyway.

Spoiled.

Over ?2m of licence payers money (which lets face it is a tax) to Chris Evans for a radio programme. No thanks.

I reckon I play more adventure golf than proper golf these days.

Most driving ranges have golf shops and coaching staff associated with them. There is one on the A20 and there is one slightly closer towards Croydon. Both have Adventure Golf (putting) which is good fun for children if you have children who are interested. Most private golf courses will be willing to give beginner lessons, and once in touch with the club professional you will be linked to a club, which takes away some of the dread about visiting a private golf club. It takes a while to get to the standard of a members club - once you can hit it consistently well on the range, you could progress to a public course, and then later join a member's club. Alternatively you can start at a members club for coaching and play that course and the professional will guide you as to whether you are good enough to go on the course, or take you round for a playing lesson.

Great that they are openly addressing the issues - good luck.

Fox and Firkin is still called that isn't it?

The Freisian and Firkin in Clapham Old Town was a great bar in the early/mid-1990s They are all here http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ccaajpa/pubs-firkin.html

Never trust a Scotsman where money is involved HMB.

Poor results and dismissal of CEO[edit] In September 2015, Mitchells & Butlers issued a profits warning and dismissed CEO Alistair Darby. He was replaced by Phil Urban, who joined as COO in January from Grosvenor Casinos and previously ran Whitbread?s pub restaurants division.[25]

yes, and in fact it should be that chain would logically mean good, being reflective of a successful and popular product being expanded out/quality of the brand meaning something to customers, knowing what to expect etc Of course, some chains provide something basic, and not to the standards expected in all localities, of can be poorly managed, or struggle to retain staff etc But the Half Moon looks like a fantastic set up - I have only had a beer there, but Fullers have invested a lot of money and it looks great, inside and out, the Dog will be compared to it, and some of the Dog's prior catchment will now have a choice of pubs.

Baldy Man. That's a very long way to make a brief point. I don't really care if people who don't report earnings have an employment as well as the cash earnings that they don't report, it's not a vendetta against the self employed, it's a vendetta against fraudulent behaviour. Ps - get my name right and I'll get yours right too :)

Someone who hasn't calmed down after the Twickenham gig I guess.

Foxy - did you work as an telephone engineer for all of those companies, or work in the commodities markets for some of them, and if so doing what? genuine question.

Ha. Very good, optional taxes. :) There is no responsibility on an individual paying for a service to check that tax is being paid. Non declaration of cash or any other earnings is criminal and is a police matter. http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/fraud-az-tax-fraud

Well done AM. :)

The report quotes ?6bn - that's a lot of babysitting. Relatively low earners in the employed sector pay their share of tax - Just because one is self employed doesn't mean one can defraud the government.

It appears to suggest that the cost of the taxes will ultimately be funded by payer for the services, rather than the person supplying the services. I'd argue that the person supplying the services is 100% to blame for not paying tax. If that means they feel the need to charge more, than that's what they should have been doing - but cash or electronic changes nothing in terms of responsibility to pay taxes correctly. It lies with the service provider and always has.

Who would not agree. There is a huge amount of lost income tax/vat revenue. Payments can now be made by mobile phone app in a matter of minutes, lots of options, from BACS or Pingit Once you have set up the payee, its a 30 second job to pay them again next time. As Jules says, there are many low earners making a contribution to the tax take as employees. Self employed have had it too good for too long. Disclaimer - There are some who will pay all their taxes of course.

Very little happening in ED after 11. Pubs close at 11, open later Thursday onwards. You might have a small window 10-11 for a drink on a Tuesday.
