I've had a f*cking hell of a week, and it's not yet done. I need a beer. I'm getting the feck out of this office and heading home, from where i shall be wandering to either the Palmerston or the Bishop for a pint or 8 and perhaps a whisky to finish. Yes, that bad.


Won't see you there, due to my blind-drunkeness.

Ha! So I was right with my name guess then.

Shame I can't make the pub tonight :(

Another time perhaps rcmacf??!

Oh sorry darling...I thought it was because I referred to Legal as a "hussy"!


Yes...well, I'm not having it...


*switches to other single men thread to check on Legal*

So, Rob. I'm curious - were you joined in the pub last night by a bevy of gorgeous forumites?...

In a word, no. It was not like the attached. Was in the Bishop (as the actress said to...) then up to the Lodge for a few too many. Ended up chatting with an utterly delightful 40/50 something lady who was amazed that i was just chatting with her, and not chatting her up. She was also determined to impress on me that she had 3 kids and so could not possibly be of any interest to me. People can be a bit odd.


May be about tonight, too, though. This weather shall have me stray not too far from the nest.

    • 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
