Blimey Robert, I'm amazed that between 4 of you, you only manage £200.

If you're not out on the tools and you're expecting your guys to declare the tips, then they're robbing you.

Either that or you're all miserable buggers  :o ;D

Agreed,they are robbing both you and HMRC by not declaring all the tips ;)

im still on the tools . in actual fact i think we got nearer to  only £100 in tips but i wrote 200 cos it looked better and i was trying to fit in with the good tip mob in this thread . nontheless we did get more than other yrs which isnt saying much particularly as my round has grown a lot this last year !!

And to keep it warm.

Also, gently separate the skin from the bird and rub butter on the gap, all over the bird before cooking. This will stop it drying out.

I used to be a chef in the navy so I get to do most of the cooking  ;D

About £150ish in tips, 2 bottles of wine, chocolates etc from residential. A bottle of prosecco from a shop i do and one of those fancy crates of vintage wines from a company in London i do work for. never had anything from the commercials until this year which was a pleasant surprise.

Merry Christmas to you all,

Jon
