It depends on the lad for us. We had a lassie that worked with us a few years ago, she wore a santa hat and was full of "Christmas cheer", She got more than all the other lads put together.

I doubt Unravelling69 has any cheer left after brightening up CIU.

I've never collected. Always get about £100 and a couple of gifts.

And as Soupy alludes to... I have a bright and sunny disposition  ;D yet get more when one of my daughters works with me.

Which is happening next week so I'll report back.

Bottle of red wine and a tenner today taking me up to £302 and box of biscuits which have already been eaten by my missus....the red wine(complete with bottle bag)will be taken round my brothers on Xmas day.....

I usually get a few more tips in Jan and still 3 days left but still well down on previous years.

Surprised you don’t get more tips given you send out begging letters Christmas cards Daz.

I’m on £200+ now and send out no cards and only have roughly 100 domestic customers.

These are the type of tips I get in good old yorkshire

Not sure how to spend the £1 odd after tax but I don't think it'll stretch to a pint  :D

I would be quite happy with a £3 tip, it shows that your efforts are appreciated. If everyone gave a £3 tip I would be doing rather well.
