has to be better than last year as I was snowed in for 4 weeks,   not really bothered about tips  just as long as I can work.

Sounds like you should be charging them more doctor windows ;D
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

Most of my custies know I am a jw and so don't offer tips.

Yet strangely over the last three years I have been given within £2 of £100 each year altogether. Plus a couple of bottles. This was a nice little days bonus but now is less than 4 hours work and quite insignificant in monetary terms.
It's a game of three halves!

Without wishing to be funny isn't it a little wrong to take Christmas tips when you don't celebrate Christmas????

Eh? What does that mean?? you don't have to be Christian to accept tips at Christmas. I tip my postman at X-mas and he is a Muslim. Its an end-of-the-year-and-thank-you-for-your-good-service-over-the-past-twelve-months tip. Nothing more!

If Christmas bothers someone, it's easy to think of it as an end of year tip instead.  Can't see the problem really.

the best thing to do is dont expect anything extra at xmas and anything else is a bonus.


saying that the last few years ive had £500+ in tips every year!


im going to new york for a week the  day after boxing day for new year. ill have plenty of money for the trip anyway. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I have a Xmas tip: Santa is only make believe (or so they say)  :-\
