Its August(which is always quiet) and the veggie option isnt that popular, the Indian Mischief online reviews arent that brilliant. We didnt bother in the end. Supper was a can of tomato soup and a roll.


We cant stick to the same day of the week every month as that would exclude people with a set commitment.


Anyway - I am thinking 25/9 for the next one. Where shall we go? or do people want to give it a rest for a while?

In the book I'm reading today:


"...The lady came from the ancient Palaeologos family and could trace her forebears clean back to the tenth century, when they were highnesses of Byzantium. She wished her food to be properly cooked and demanded a high-class Roman cuisine requiring charcoal braziers instead of an open fire in the middle of the kitchen..."


Fussy about food them paliowhatsits.

Soooo - who do I go with?


I am going to assume that La Beagle is indeed a Bad Mother, in the NYC street slang kind of way you understand.


Therefore I am assuming that the Beagle-Brum ensemble will be in attendance.


I think.

    • That beacon of socialism and notorious envier of home owners - the USA  - has a property tax.  Generally an annual charge based on the fair market value of your house.
    • Just had fun on RightMoves - luckily everything on my street is sub £2mm so if the valuation method is recent trading multiples then we'll all be OK...for now.   The new tax law might create an artificial resistance point at the £2mm level where natural inflation will not bring a certain population of houses over the threshold.   If I had unlimited funds this place would be AMAZING!! https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/162706352?utm_campaign=property-details&utm_content=buying&utm_medium=sharing&utm_source=copytoclipboard#/&channel=RES_BUY Total 1-off that obvs pre-dates the other houses around it. 
    • There was an interesting chat about this on the budget The Rest Is Politics and they highlighted a challenge that taxation levels are now getting to Scandinavian levels yet our public services are nowhere near as good as theirs and the government is pouring money in to, for example, the NHS but people aren't seeing the improvement as (the politically dreaded) productivity is actually going down. They cited 20% to 30% more investments in nurses etc yet productivity is at around 7.8%. This is a big challenge for the government because if people don't feel the difference or feel they are getting good value for money they will turn on them very quickly.
    • Certainly the threshold won't be increased, but, additionally, once the position is accepted that central government can impose a rental, for no return, on property you might expect it to be widened. Remember Council tax, also a tax on property, is in exchange for the services we get from our local council, but this property tax is in exchange for nothing. Indeed those hit by this tax are amongst the relatively few people, in general, who are net contributers to national income, as opposed to net benefitters.
