Do You Still Tip?

How many of you still give Christmas tips, if you do, who do you give them to and how much do you give, a sum of £5 has been suggested but is that a little steep?
In these days one does not seem to have the same personal contact with the various services at one's door, has one did years ago.
Take the dustman for example, some councils won't allow their employees to accept tips and besides gone are the days when they would come to where you kept the galvanised steel bin, lift it on their shoulder take it to the vehicle and empty it and then return it from where they had picked it up.
Now one has to wheel the various bins to the front of one's property and wheel them back when they are empty.
And who has a milkman these days?

It's not always easy to catch the bin men when you live in a block, like me, but I try to catch them and tip them. I usually end up saying something stupid like This is for a quick drink after work, or This is to say thanks for not scratching my cars, you can scratch that one though, he's never here, ha ha ha.
Yes.......bank manager and the girl(teller) gets a pressy
The girls in the supermarket get a pressy.
The Pool cleaner gets a pressy.
THe Postman gets a pressy.
Pressy= a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates.
The children, grandchildren and one greatgrandchild get "bugger all.".....and that is more than they deserve.

I tip my postie because she's lovely and reliable and always cheerful.
If I catch the bin men they will get a tip too.
I use taxis more now for getting to the station. If I have to lift my own cases in and out of the cab he gets the agreed fare but the jolly ones who call me love and carry the cases for me will get a good tip.
The window cleaners are fantastic so a good Christmas box for them too...x
