A bunch of red grapes, actually grown in the north pennines.

Duck eggs are nice, a bit richer than a hens egg.

Many years ago when I was an Instructor for "L" motorcyclists, one I tutored was a Chineese lad.
On the last week I got a bag full of spare ribs.
Very nice too.

It wasn't a tip as such, but I was paid with a drum kit for doing a full house and oven clean.... I think I got a bargain...

After a 6 zone alarm installation one of our lads got a full home brew kit including pans, a mash ton, temp probs, hydrometer and a stack of barrels, all the tackle any homebrewer could ever want including a load books on how to make beer and larger. He had half of his van full, he was so pleased he was grinning from ear to ear.
Unfortunately the poor ladys husband has passed away and she wanted rid.

I sent her a £200.00 company cheque as I thought she had been a little too generous.
His tip to me was a bottle of his first brew, it tasted like p***! ;D although he's good now, very good.

Bottoms Up!
