Get your tube maps out and head underground - I, Louisa, want to know what tube line YOU are. Try the quiz in the link below and post up the line and the comments after which sum up your personality. Good luck.

Well Im not a Londoner by origin so the football team didnt match and I identify with a tazmanian devil more than a lion plus there were no quintin tarrentino films listed but,


You got: Piccadilly Line!

The small things in life amuse you. You love feeling like a tourist, and rarely spend too much time in one place.


Its sort of true then I suppose.

I was the Central line too - one that I travel on very rarely.


The football and animal questions were both a guess though since didn't identify with either. And the commute question threw me since I cycle most days so I had to pick sweat patches as the only one that applied!

Sherlock Holmes (because I couldn't identify with any of the rest & never watched them)

Millwall (I support them)

None of the stations (because I'm too sensible!)

Queen

Piccadilly Circus

A sandwich from pret (or more likely Tesco!)

Unicorn (as I prefer fantasy to reality)

Huge shopping bags (as I travel by bus, not train)

No.2 ( as I'm rarely ill (touch wood!) apart from the odd cold)


Piccadilly Line.

Quite true about me, so I think I got the right one.

i got Overground too. No idea why. Have hardly travelled on that line. Thought I'd get eastbound central line for some reason.


anyway, Louisa, do tell... what did you get?

    • 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
