£14 so far, funny the usual gas bags have not made much chat, epecially one today, he see me as i was two doors down, kept his head down and drove off. (he'l send cheque ok though)

All that effort to avoid giving you 1 or 2 quid tip ::)

Maybe i'm harsh a lot of people don't get much from their employers now.

seems to me some custy's start of pleased to have a windy and give xmas tip then it starts to slide :-\

I have two tips.

1. In the current economic climate, be grateful that you have the customers you have.
2. Don't take it for granted that you will get extra 'tips' at this time of the year. It is a gift from 
    the customer, not your God-given right to receive.

John.
