If you use the Lido and in particular the gym or spa there, or take classes ... or are just curious about the facility ... some of us users have started a Facebook forum to better be able to get to know each other as well as feed back (both positives and negatives) to BLU (the Brockwell Lido Users Group) and to Fusion, who run the place. These are basically community pages.


It's always hard launching something like this and getting attention, so check it out and give it a "like"! If you're on Facebook, that is. You don't need to be on Facebook to look at the stuff but if you are, you're welcome to add your comments!

Use to love the Brockwell Lido in the pool every 6am until they 'removed' Paul as the manager. Caf? use to display 'local & Community' activities, then that was ripped down and replaced by only Lido activities........ so don't use caf? either!


Toad uses other pools!


Any connections between Chains & Fusion? Cash = Flash!, Toad knows far too many people who just get on with it without paying ????? to the chain.


No bitterness though when Paul was removed......... please keep this thread going Brockwell Lido, lots more to say!

It is a long lease which Lambeth created with Fusion. I liked Paul Maier too ... Jeremy as well. We had lots of pow wows. He helped start the Modern Movement too. And agreed his replacement was very hard work and did some outrageous stuff. But she was yanked after protest (nearly a sit-in in December) and am encouraged by her replacement so far. He has allowed us to display handbills for the facebook around the dryside of the place and put some up himself. This is one of the reasons for the facebook thing. if you want to be read, go on it and add your comments. both the manager and BLU seem to be reading the wall. I'm not sure they will come to the ED forum. I appreciate what you say about the bulletin board - we should be on there too. We are trying to get on it now. Meeting some resistance but one of the facebook administrators met with BLU heads this week and brought it up again.

Well Ant, the word's Italian meaning beach. So if it came from the original then it should be lee-do.


However, like the French word promen-ah-de which is often pronounced promen-ay-de, it became so corrupted after allowing the working classes to both read and travel that it can be pronounced whichever way you choose.


You could even have some fun trying to persuade people to put the stress on the second syllable: l'DOH

      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
