Dear All

I previously asked for a plumber recommendation and you guys kindly answered and he proved to be spot on.

I have a few jobs in our new house that I wanted to once again seek recommendations for.

The first job is for someone to lay decking on our small roof terrace, I am not sure if this would be best suited to a carpenter or knowledgeable builder, as the decks have to be suspended.

The second recommendation is for someone who deals with the removal of asbestos, we bought a seriously old house and there is asbestos in the kitchen which needs to be removed before we can think about renovating.

I would very much appreciate it, if anyone has had any experience with the above requests could let me know who they used.

Thank you

  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
