I got a fiver today for not doing the windows  :o My hose had froze up, so i knocked on a house that needs door opening to access the back, and explained that hose had froze so could just do downstairs. She said do not worry about it leave it until next time as they are not that bad. So I went and put stuff away as i had done next door first, she came running out and said here you go have a drink for xmas, I said do not be daft (as i had not done her windows) she said no, have it, I appreciate you coming to do them.

No, as it was given to him when he cleaned the property and he should have been thanked there and then.

If a doctor only gives you a 50p tip, it could be a bad sign. He might know more than you think.

yep, 50p is a little light,

However, it is the thought that counts,  Tips are given as a token of appreciation for good work, at least you can rest knowing he is happy with your service and that you are not getting binned in the new year.  Knowing that is the the best tip me.... So 50p does have value, just depends how you look at it.

Did get a decent bottle of whisky in the week in a presentation box with glasses, I was gob smacked!
