BBC breakfast
« on: 20 December 2013, 07:47:00 »

Pressing matters on this morning. Should we tip the binmen/postman at Christmas? Don't forget the window cleaner. Astonishingly, only 52% of us now do this. Wow!
Let's ask an etiquette expert, a shrivelled old prune who bears as much relevance to most of us as the man in the moon. "Well......it depends........"
AAARRRRGGGGHHHH     F  U  C  K   OFF!!!!!!!!!

Who do they think they are broadcasting to?


Where's my pills........…gasp....

R-E-L-A-X

Try meditation and discover your inner self. Be at peace with yourself and symbiotic with the world

THEN - take the pills ( not blue ones by any chance are they ?)


AND YES - We do give Christmas tips to postman, binmen etc. Where we live they do a really good job  :y

Anyway, off again this weekend for another look a a house for our Great Escape. Almost at the point of no return.

I tipped our window cleaner yesterday. He charges £6, gave him £10. He's a nice guy.

If I'm really lucky I get to keep the change... usually a whole ten or twenty pence ;D

No wonder everyone in Horsham is so wealthy...

We can't run to a window cleaner........we're not made of money. :'( :'( :'(

As for the binmen........when they decide to leave the bin 'right way up' I'll give them a tip. ;D :P

Postmen/postgirl we tip £10-£20.

When I were a lad, postmen, binmen, et al got a tip at Xmas. But they used to be the same faces all year round, now you never know who is calling. The postman would be cheery and helpful,the bin men actually had to walk (heaven forbid!) to the back of most houses to get your bin, they emptied it and TOOK IT BACK. The window cleaner would turn up when he said he would, and KEEP on coming. They all got paid a wage, but it was Xmas time (if that makes a difference?) and people would show their gratitude for the little extras given through the year... Merry Christmas.... or, Happy Holiday, if that suits you better?  :y
