Interesting FT. I do enjoy my visits to London but would imagine it would not be that pleasant if very hot as very crowded at best of times add heat into that and it would not be my choice.
I have managed to grab a weeks holiday up Northumberland this week and it's been grand.
Managed 2 full days on beach with paddle boards out and 2 fishing trips which I do enjoy.
Check emails on morning and night and no dramas really all week.
I agree with you around the end of the small practitioners, I still think there is as many opportunities as the is problems ahead and with good systems we should increase work over next few years.
From the amount of small practices that are coming up for sale though it would indicate that many practioners that are 60+ don't really fancy MTD.
I have just had my best ever month for billing and I was on holiday for a week of it so happy days.
I have only been to London a couple of times and I have to admit it certainly would not be my first choice for a holiday (as a matter of fact would most likely be at the bottom of the list!). About the only thing that it has going for it is its transportation.
My main reason for not going though is that breathing there is like breathing with a cloth over your face - the air is genuinely dirty.
With your cycling FT a holiday to the north of Scotland or to one of the islands of the west coast sounds like it would be right up your street - roads a quiet depending on where you are and the views are amazing. If it is a city that you really want to go to Edinburgh is fantastic.
I went to London a couple of years ago.
One of the things that stood out for me were how rude people were. People walking through you in a busy street is commonplace, and manners are completely missing.
It’s ok for a trip. But I couldn’t do much more than a couple of days.
London would not get in my top 5 destinations to visit in the UK.
I've just come back from Dolgellau in North Wales which was amazing. We also took a trip to Barmouth which had a great seaside - you also got some good views from the bridge.
Hello Gennzy, Viciuno and mrme, thanks for your response.
Glennzy - great that you had the best billing month. I hope it continues. Good that you are positive about the future.
Since we are so cloud based, like so many here, MTD will be welcomed. I would be surprised if we lose clients.
All - Here are most of my reasons for loving London:

In summer those reasons become more attractive. No 1 in the list is my number 1 as well. I think I am in the 9.8% category.
Viciuno - Agree Edinburgh is well worth a visit. My niece is married to a Scott and they live in Edinburgh I go there once a year. Cycling holiday sounds great. I will look into this.
mrme - I loved Cardiff. I spent 4 years there. My heart will always be in London. Londoners can be rude since we went to get to our destination yesterday and everyone is in the way!
You should try North Wales, FT. You would love the cycling. I am not a cyclist, but we rented a bike for a day. It was hard work, but it was worth it for the scenery.
We stayed at The Royal Ship Inn. Locals told us that it had recently undergone a refurb costing around £1.5m - which explained the drink prices!
