Shall we try it the other way around and eliminate candidates?


I'll start by suggesting we eliminate the Magnolia. Nice pub, but we need to spread the love and not go there yet again.


*ow, Piers, you can let go of my arm now!*


P.S. cdonline, haven't heard 'none of my beeswax' for donkeys, took me back to school and made me smile.

Sue - did you go tothat Kraftwerk night?? I really fancied it but then forgot about it?


I'm preferring the pubs we haven't been to yet as a suggestion - all of them sound good and liek quids I prefer a beer. But it's Christmas a brave suggestion by Georgia

There was a notice on the door of the Wishing Well last week that said: "We cannot open today due to a problem. Any problems, please call 07xxxxxxxx".


There is currently another notice pointing out that to gain admittance, you have to be over 21, and are not allowed to deal drugs on the premises. I realise this might limit numbers at an EDF meet, so thought you might like to know.

If the Wishing Well is the choice of most then The Wishing Well it can be. Was only thinking it would be good to do something a bit different for the Christmas drinks and go somewhere maybe with a DJ or some sort of music - but that's just me :)

"that's why i suggested the Wishing Well, so everyone can have a clean night for once."


Are you suggesting we normally deal drugs, hit on gymslips or partake of mud-wrestling...or all of the above?

Is there anywhere that would cater for that as it happens?

Yes, best night out I'd had for ages, started very very very late but well worth it :)

I'm up for the Wishing Well but where's the fun in having a clean night? Bollocks to that!!!

The one and only time I've been in the Adventure, that Toby chap was telling us that he was trying to encourage dancing and suchlike, although apparently he's not having much luck so far.

That was due to having new managers (yet again) and the license needing to be renewed, or something like that anyway.

    • 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
