Kevinhit's suggestion of a turd tax , made me think we could all do with a bit more of a laugh regarding council 'charges', so Im starting this short thread for spoof ideas from you Wiki folk , for the Council to consider , on how they can fleece you some more, and tongue in cheek ways how it could be implemented! Come on people , let your imagination go wild!

Here's a good one...a bedroom tax! If you have empty bedrooms the government will charge you for them. But if you turn a bedroom into a mosque you don't have to pay! Outrageous i know, it's just a thought i had, it'll never happen!

Quote Dilly "A going out at night tax, to pay the electric bill for lamposts." To further that one Dilly, a machine on the base of each lamp post that you have to pedal like hell for five minutes , to generate enough leccy to get you from lamp post to lamp post, hence eliminating the need for WBC to light any of them! SilentReader . 'A fart tax' . Yes I see this helping the above in some way .Maybe some sort of offsettting.  MissMarjong we will enlist Silentreaders ideas plus offsetting here too |I think.

A playground tax. They could make all the public park facilities like on the fairground where you stick your kid in and then bung a quid into the cointaker to make it work. Good God, Dyou know what Wiki people -- this thread should serve to show us how lucky we are , the council hardly taxes us on anything !!!!!  ------YET

I have a good one - very relevant at the moment maybe - how about a POLL TAX where every person pays the same towards local services regardless of where they live
I am sure there could be few objections to such a simple system

I think that a bedroom tax could work well. I'm wondering what happens to people in bed sits, is it a living room, is it a bedroom, do they pay only the rate for the space their bed takes up, which means its not big enough to be classed as a bedroom at all. What if they use a sofa bed, is it only a bedroom for the time they're sleeping in it and do they get a rebate for the time the bed is folded away, how will they monitor this to allow for the difference in sleep patterns between normal human beings and university students.

Toll roads around Wirral or 'traffic lights' tax. Every set of traffic lights we go through,.... bingo! Car reg and automatic payment sent through the post at the end of each tax year. They like getting at the motorists, so why stop with the car parks? Plus there's enough traffic/pedestrian lights to raise millions.

Tax for those leaving their gardens unsightly with long grass and unkempt bushes. Then they could ensnare you into paying either this or the garden bin tax! Kind council giving choices!!

How about a massive parking tax that you have to pay just to go shopping, visit the ATM, etc?
Surely this would entice thousands more people to support their local community by shopping locally?

How about a speech tax, charged per word spoken. Obviously they would need to fit microphones into every home and street on the wirral, which could be covered by an intelligence tax. They could charge extra for anything they don't like you saying. However if you mime the words you get a 50% discount as no sound is actually made, but if you want to opt into this service you would need cameras fitted as well as the microphones, which would increase your intelligence tax payments.

Sociological studies have shown that women flipping their hair and/or twisting it in their fingers is form of flirting as they show attraction. If this happens to you at traffic lights a lot maybe they're trying to tell you something.

There should definitely be a tax on supermarket dawdlers... You know, those annoying people who insist on stopping dead in the middle of a supermarket aisle with their trolley positioned diagonally so no one else can get past them, and decide now would be a good time to discuss, with some friend they've just bumped into, the holiday they've just been on/are going on  Perhaps they could call it the "spread room tax"
