Seeing as I've never met any of you but going by what you post I sometimes find myself building a mental picture of the other characters on the forum. These images are usually fleshed out by tv personalities and characters. Please don't be offended.


Seanmacgagham - A younger David Attenborough.

TLS - Michael Palin but with an earing.

HonaloochieB - A slimmer version of Steven Fry and with stubble.

???? - All four of the young ones.

Dulwichmum - I sort of know what you look like but you remind me of a cross between Nigella Lawson and Patsy from Ab FAB.

Keef - A cool but slightly embarressing dad.

Louisa - A pint size Cruella de Ville.

Michael Palaelogus - A Greek version of Dara O'Brien.

Mockney Piers - Not sure.

Thanks for that BBW, but I'm not actually slimmer than anyone. Spot on with the stubble though.

I initially had Jah down as my dad, because he knew all the local pubs and liked a drink. I then realised he was lots younger, loved his music, and bad habits, so he became Keef Richards in my head.

When Mike P started posting he said he was ginger and had a pink shirt, so I pictured him as a Chris Evans lookalike but with a zanny edge.

Sean thanks for saying I'm cool, I'm sure I'll manage to be an embarrassing dad on occasion though ;-)

Wow, Jah Lush as Bill Nighy is absolutely right (although Jah is younger)- Jah, when they make a movie of your life they will certainly cast Bill.


I didn't know who Sally James was, so I google-imaged her... 'fraid she looks nuffink like me. Nice stockings, though!

    • 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
