Forum Picnic - Sat 17th July - 3pm onwards - Peckham Rye Park (in front of the cafe)


Recommended Posts



He'll give anyone thats not within an 8km radius a lift. Then he can have the day orf to do whatever it is he does when he's not driving.


So lets see what venue gets the most votes:


- Peckham Rye park (selfishly nearest to me and as organiser, well, y'know...)

- Dulwich park (or is it really East Dulwich park, I dunno...its nice to cycle through)

- Goose green (probably too small for the expected turnout)

- Anywhere else thats leafy, green and idyllic (and near me)

Yeah I think Peckham Rye Park would be good too - top-secret prime picnic spot to be disclosed once everyone else on the forum has signed up.


PR - your bread sounds F-A-B!


Woof - by all means bring hot dogs but you better have some HOT SAUCE to go with them.


*sips elderflower drink, turns another page*

I will be bringing strawberries and raspberries with whipped cream and homemade scones...

Sounds exceptionally yummy. Its making me hungry as I'm reading it.

Ooooh that sounds lovely. I may well be able to attend and will come armed with G&B's pecan pies if I can! Lovely idea Katie. I feel summery already]


Great news! OMG G&B's pecan pies, what a fantastic treat...I will, cough, ensure that they are put in a safe place if you do.


PS. Looking forward to seeing Little Timmy Enrique Hallal - he sounds adorable, I hope he likes sausages (tu)

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