Also just moved to E.Dulwich a few days ago (26). Don't know anyone here..


Managed to get a parking ticket after leaving my car outside my house for 6mins :S. Is it me or is 120 pounds a bit excessive??!!


Someone should organise a small gathering for new members of E.Dulwich community. Sort of like they do at health clubs (new members nights) :-)

I feel tempted to meet some strangers too...The open mic thing sounds cool ;)


btw, I am 26, foreign, lived in uk for about...gosh 8 years alltogether...In london for 9 month and ED since January

Will never want to move out of ED. After travelling a bit I feel I found somewhere I can call home. My feet stopped itching. Quite a nice feeling

Working too far so I have no time for the gym.I can always find time for a few drinks though...


My Bf is 31, totally british. loves football. will not go near a forum:)


Anyways, didn't feel the need to leave our cave since I discovered the forum... Guess a bit of socialising will not do us any harm;)


Will keep an eye on the thread...

No, it's a fair cop Moos.

I'd been on nights and made the mistake of drinking after only a couple of hours sleep. I went from animated chatter to slurry nonsense in record time even for me (bit of a light weight). Great night though.

Cannoni, you should definitely come along to some of the social stuff, it's fun!

Hey all


I would love to let me know when the next event is and I will put it in the diary.


Things are a little mad over the next couple of months as I am in yorkshire for a couple of weeks and I am in America for the greater percentage of June, But there is always time for drink and social chit chat.

      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
