Tips?

[allenlondon]

Wickes delivered 8 bags of compost, 4 of gravel, 30 smallish slabs (to the front door).

Asked the three blokes to carry it the 35-ish metres to the bottom of the garden, which they did.

Lobbed them £30 (not each!) for the humping, which took about 15 minutes.

Got the impression that they didn’t see it as a ‘good’ tip.

Saddens me.

What do others think? (Of the tip, not my melancholy disposition).

[Peter Pedant]

yes esasily

[allenlondon]

Hello Peter.

What?

[shoota]

£10 is loose change to the younger generation.

[theshedman]

Maybe they were just a bit surprised that you gave them a tip at all. £30 is quite a good tip in my books .

[elliemay1]

An excellent tip IMO

[ToraToraTora]

sounds like a good tip to me, most give them sweet FA.

[Mamyalynne]

Well done Allen.

[Old_Geezer]

£1 a minute each. (£60 an hour, £2,400 a week)
Sounds ok to me. Perhaps you misread the expression of being astounded at such a generous tip ?

[ToraToraTora]

shedman may be right, we always tip the ASDA man ( can't afford Waitrose Allen) and often they look surprised.

[allenlondon]

I do hope it was, as we’ve always tried to pay the rate, and reward extra service.

[Peter Pedant]

yes easily
is short for
yes give a tip
firty knicker is easily sufficient

[aelmpvw]

should have slipped them a tea bag saying 'have a drink on me later'

[barry1010]

I never tip

[bhg481]

The only tip I ever give is "Look both ways before crossing the road".

[Bobbisox1]

'Always steep your peas on Friday night' is a good tip

[dannyk13]

Generous.

[Bobbisox1]

I'm a soft touch, I tip our postie and binmen each Christmas and why not, they do a really good job

[alavahalf]

Will be avoiding work for Bobbi if I know I will be getting peas for my tip.

Tips? Don't eat yellow snow and don't try to eat soup with a fork.

[alavahalf]

Ken.. Your soup is in need of some 'Body'.
