I've recently had the interior of my flat painted by Darren and would highly recommend him. The walls and woodwork needed a lot of attention prior to painting and Darren took great care with the preparation. The end result looks fantastic. In addition to his high-quality work, Darren is a thoroughly nice guy, trustworthy and even fed the cat when we were away! He has also done work for friends who were equally pleased. We will be using Darren again to paint the exterior.


Darren ? 07879 233 900.

Darren recently re-painted our front room, hallway, kitchen and bathroom for us and did a great job. He was very neat and tidy, really good with the cat, and even did a couple of repair jobs for free whilst he was with us. He is professional, reasonably priced and genuinely cares about doing a good job - would highly recommend him.

      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

      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

      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
