I’m wondering about Christmas tips, do you tip the men and women who empty the bin/deliver the post etc? Is this something that most people do still?

Best tip

Withdraw £200 in tenners from the cashpoint

Look for stressed and run down individuals of varying ages

Hand out tenners as you quickly walk by

Mutter the words Be kind to someone today

Do not to hang about

That’s given me an idea. I’ll buy some rough clobber in a charity shop and lie down in doorways near cash points. I could make a few quid ! :heyhey:

Yes, we do.

We give a cash tip to the postman and window cleaner.
A gift of proessco and chocolates (all done up with cellophane and a bow to look gorgeous) for my hairdresser and the girl who cuts husbands hair. Huge box of chocolates for the rest of the staff.
Huge box of chocolates for the staff in the dogs grooming barn.

I once saw lots of school kids getting a nice bit of spending money , by going around the bins on their way into school and collecting tips left on top of bins.

I give my beautician a present each year (usually wine or similar) as she does her best to make me look boooooootiful every 3 weeks throughout the year.

The only tip I'd give my postman is to get some reading glasses, he always seems to be pushing other peoples post through my door (And I haven't seen the documents posted out to me that must have landed through someone elses door yet)

Enjoying a drop of red.
Postman's always changing so don't leave a tip. Leave a tip for the binmen both at home and the ones in Shropshire that do our commercial bins.
