The rain has stopped now brum - though I did get soaked on my bike this morning whilst riding to Queen's Square.


I shall miss you tonight when attempting that bloomin "neutral spine"! x


And chin up - just two more days and you will be re-united with your beloved.

Piece of string walks into the bar and asks for a drink.


Barman: "Are you a piece of string?"

String: "Indeed I am"

Barman: "Sorry we don't serve pieces of string in this bar"


String leaves crossly, stops outside, twists himself around a few times and ruffles his hair. String walks back into the bar and ask the barman for a drink.


Barman: "Are you a piece of string?"

String. "No. I'm afraid not."

Lady Esme - I have passed the legal text to my lawyers to decipher. They will respond in due course if needs be.


Hope the chauffeur is behaving himself and that you aren't using him to help you deplete all stocks of LCIC :))

      Taxes

      Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more.

      Taxes

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.

      Taxes

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/

      Taxes

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
