I gave a homeless person £25 on Sunday in London. Was it the right thing to do?

Why did you give it to him/her?

Because they were homeless.

I got my best tip yesterday from a customer who pays by cheque in post (this was one I did 8 days early and left a note explaining about getting everyone cleaned for Christmas hence Im a little early this month)

It was a Christmas card and in it she wrote

"To Ian, thank you for your kind explanation about the window cleaning for December (I was away anyway) You are by far the best window cleaner in the area and always so reliable"


ONLY COS SHE DOESN'T KNOW ME  

Now cant spend it, cant drink it, cant eat it but so nice to get comments like that

  that's true I know when Im beaten by a better man .......................... plus you have a new shiny van ... feck think I will close shop and jack it all in ... no point anymore

Worst year for tips for a decade.
I wouldn't want to go out collecting again though to get a few extra quid in tips
I prefer the way they pay online and I keep out of their way, I've got some seriously weird people on my round
Also my new Van seems to be  making people feel that I have too much money to receive a tip
My son drives an old 206 around and he has already got 3 times as much as me,  his round is half the size of mine,  but he goes collecting ( begging )

Probably around £150 and 2 bottles of wine. Quite a bit down on recent years. I must admit we have struggled to get round to our domestic customers this year, often been a couple of weeks late. This probably explains the reason why the tips are down. Back to being reliable again now that the second van is on the road.  

Ps I'd have thought you'd have got loads more than that Daz. 350 odd customers that's only averaging a bit over £1 per house, and most of your customers are rich (or at least live in expensive houses)

most dont tip danny and loads more customers pay online these days as well.im ok with that. its a dying tradition!i tipped my postman a tenner but i grew up with him and he s a good guy in general.

i didnt get round to around 35 jobs either!

You probably helped pay for his next bag of crack/smack/weed.

[slap bash]

My squeaky bunch never tip. No even a horse`s name or were to invest. NO TIPS>>>>>>

Maybe, maybe not. I don't actually care, but with an attitude like that I'd never help anyone.

Nor do I care, I just gave the answer you were angling for.

[Ian101]

I did £118 in cash, 3 bottles of wine and a bottle of Preseco .... best year ever ... and I was worried at start of month as most were going to be 6 to 9 days early 


Do I use the retail value of the wine for the tax mans share ?

[Mike #1]

Hope your all declaring your tips , I got a crate of Bud and Xmas kiss ding dong

Nah just put 20% of it into an old water bottle and send it direct to hmrc.

I wasnt angling for anything mate, just recounting something that occured to me two days ago. I knew though that someone would say what you did and that someone would also say something trying to be funny about paying for sex. Bit sad really.

But it doesnt matter I did it because the person concerned is homeless, it was freezing cold, they were sat on the pavement with people just strolling by going home to their families, Ive been there myself. Maybe I helped them just a little. Maybe I didnt. Who knows. I like to think even if they still shot up with a needle later that day their faith in humanity was at least heartened for a few brief seconds.

good deed i say matt
when me and my daughter go to london we get 20 cheesburgers from mcdonalds and she likes to give them a couple and they are always greatful and makes her feel she has done good for the day, she is only 10 and has a heart of gold.

[Sean Dyer]

has anyone had tips from online payment and cheques??

I had one that pays online bung me a tenner but he was also touting for the business of maintaining my web site

All my tips came from cash collection , i didnt get round everyone before xmas , probably about 80 custies so maybe another £50-100 i didnt get in tips

tbh i appreciate the tips but i dont care if i get them or not, so long as my jobs are priced right im not bothered if they tip

[richard groves]

First year I have actually kept it seperate from takings, usually its change in my pocket that I hit the pub with after work.
about 600 , was quite suprised, never realised I drank so much.
