ED Yummy Mummies? What about the Tubby Hubbies ??!!


Recommended Posts

Oh, just saw this thread. Very amusing! But I have to say that even as a mummy (and I like to think I'm yummy... well I can wear my skinny jeans again anyway), I sometimes find the other mummies predatory and territorial!


I hope I never glower, and I always try to be welcoming. My daughter is very friendly too. If she sees you MrTwirly, she'll probably go out of her way to say hello (even though she is only 13 months). She's been known to cross entire cafes to pat strange men on the knees. (Hmm, let's hope she outgrows that before her teen years!) Anyhoo, if you want to borrow her and take the buggy on jaunt around the local cafes, you can have a blast running over peoples' toes whilst Little Saff blows raspberries.

ha ha . thats good . :))

I long ago gave up on attempting to have a coffee in any of the Dulwich cafes for the reasons listed by MrTwirly. My advice is to jump on a 176 to the Charing Cross Road and go to Caffe Vergnano - there's no wifi and no space for buggies and you will get one of the best coffees in town, a range of great pastries and snacks for less than you would pay in the Blue Mountain or Lucca....outside of the rush hour it's around a 20 minute journey and a small price to pay for retaining your sanity.....

...or try the cafes in the undercover bit of Brixton market; several at least as good as any around here. You won't see many YMs of ED there.


Or you could spend an hour in the Pavilion cafe in Dulwich Park. After that nothing else will seem quite so bad.

    • 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
