Still trying to figure out who this american guy was who was talking to Daizie briefly - he was part of a group of americans standing outside when I left - may have been filming something....don't suppose you asked him Daizie?


Little ugly guy ::o in a baseball top - do you remember?

Glad I made it along last night...my first outing since our 2nd baby was born.


Great to see familiar faces includin Raj, Sean, Lady Muck, James Cornell, Mazza, Mazzas mate, Daizie etc


Also nice to meet some new faces including Hibbs,Mick Mac, ???? etc.


My first time at The Lodge...and I liked the venue. Plenty of space to sit relax and chat.

And nice bar staff, who managed to knock me up a Pina Collada (in case anyone was wondering the milky drink I had!)


I dont feel too bad today considering the mix of drinks I had!!

shame I missed it last night, sounds like you all had fun. The Lodge may be the venue for the 80s Disco In May.

Il try and organise a mini EDF outing with LM and Mick Mac and whoever else up for it. I will have more time on my hands now, hubby is going to Belfast for a wee while.

Heck no! I can't even remember how I got home! Though I do (vaguely) remember being thrown out by the Bishop's Security Team! Great evening though...the best drinks so far in my extremely humble opinion. Met lots of lovely new people and it was nice to catch up with others too. Fabulous. Once again, mega-thanks to Georgia for arranging.

I have a great pic of some of you guys at the Lodge but it says it's too large to attach... Is there something i can do?? It's 2.07 MB.... Or John - can you grab it from Facebook at all? Cheers all - had a great night and sorry to DC for brace-induced bruises!

JoJo - when I next get home I'll try and pull the pic from facebook. Work doesn't allow access so it'll have to wait


LadyMacGabhann however has expressed disapproval of the state of me in the picture so any delay isn't unwelcome in my house

      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

      By HeadNun · Posted

      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

      By David Peckham · Posted

      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
