Hi all,


Wondering if anyone can help. My husband is a teacher at a local primary school and has been made aware of a child with a very difficult home life who is desperate to join the school's guitar club. However the proviso for the club is that each member has a guitar to practice on at home. Needless to say it's not an option for parents/carers to buy one (already uses a school-sourced PE kit).


I wondered if anyone here had a child's guitar (that would suit a 9 year old) lying around not being used that they would be willing to donate. My husband would love to pick it up and give it to this child to give them something a bit fun to get involved in. He was planning on buying the child one himself and will do this if necessary but I thought it was worth asking here!


Many thanks in advance!

Hi Bluesuperted. Pretty sure from your name that I work with your husband and probably have 1/2 size guitar no longer being used. Might be rather the worse for wear but better than nothing. Will have a look and let you/him know before he goes out and spends his hard-earned wages!

    • In  parts of Europe you just get charged tax at the end of your stay somewhere. Usually a couple of quid added to your bill. Most tourists are pretty happy to stump up the cost, as it's an expected expense.  I  think it's a good way to make money and remove the burden from locals.  It's for foreigners, Sue - I'm sure Londoners and brits will still be able to freely cross the borough lines without having to go through checkpoint charlie 🙂 
    • It doesn't work like that. There won't be differential pricing for tourists and residents at any attractions, checkpoints or a requirement to carry one's papers with one at all times. A levy is put on hotels, maybe on Air B&Bs, on a bed per night basis. That cash goes to Southwark. It's pretty easy to administer.
    • Don't see an issue at all. Sounds like the protest is being made by friends and families of the two off licences, Morleys, pret and maxim chicken who are within 100 m of the school. Much ado about nothing. Besides if it doesn't proceed, the kids will walk a but further!!
    • Whilst I agree to some extent,  are they going to have some kind of checkpoint?  I can't see how this could work in practice. Surely Southwark residents go to these places quite frequently as well, particularly Tate Modern?  Will we have to take proof of residency every time we go out? What happens when family are with us who don't live in Southwark? Will other London boroughs start doing the same thing? Will Southwark residents be charged a tourist tax to visit "tourist attractions" in other areas, eg the V&A and the British Museum?
