Hi all,


We’re former East Dulwich (Dunstan’s road, then Mundania) residents who now live in Los Osos, Ca. We’re looking for a house swap in SE London for 2 weeks in July.


A bit about us-

We have three boys-2 born at Kings. We’re both educators, I’m a SEN teacher and my husband is head of a middle school. My husband is from Bromley, and we’ll be back to see his family and friends. First time for me since pre Covid, would love to be in the old neighborhood with the boys.


About the house-3 bed/2 bath.

Classic Modern 1970’s beach house. Residential neighborhood, water and Mountain View’s throughout.

Here’s the link from when we bought it:

It’s decorated very differently now. It does have steep balconies, but we have ways of childproofing them. Currently set up with 2 twin beds in one room, king in the front room (with ocean views), and a third smaller room with another twin bed.


The area-

Los Osos is my favorite place on Earth-it has a million things to do with young kids. Los Osos is half way between LA and SF but not close to either. It’s on an estuary, so you have ever changing tides. It’s surrounded by a state park, Morro Bay-which is a cute little fishing village, San Luis Obispo-a college town, and 30 minutes from some of the best wineries in California. You’re an hour from Big Sur. It’s really a special spot, and the house is walking distance from a playground, the bay, a coffee shop, deli, and beer/wine bar.

Hi!

I'd be really really up for this another summer but can't do this year. Please keep my email and get in contact if you want to do this the year after. We have a lovely 4 bed house with garden by Myatts Fields. [email protected]

    • 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
    • "What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???" Why is it perceived, Reeves is responsible for doubling the "black hole" to £20b through the public sector pay increases. You can't live beyond your means and when you try you go bankrupt pdq. In 4 yrs time if this Govt survives that long and the country doesn't go bust before then, in 2029 I dread to think the state the country will be in.  At least Sunak and co had inflation back to 2% with unemployment being stable and not rising.   
    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
