Guest guest Posted November 14, 2000 Report Share Posted November 14, 2000 <He only got £15 last year, he will get more this year as I've impinged on his helpfulness a lot. Perhaps Hannah can say if this is a good amount or not. Miranda> £15 is certainly on the generous side!! Poor dh is unlikely to get many tips this year ( Having moved in February he hasn't yet built up the rapour (sp? - brains not working and the spell checker doesn't know either!) with his customers that he had on his previous 'round' , where he'd delivered for several years. Bad news for me, as the size of my Christmas present usually depends on the amount of his tips LOL.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Ok something must have by passed me here.. I like my post man but I never considered tipping him at Christmas time... I don't tip my milk man either but that is because he does such a cr** job that I don't want to encourage him... Incedently the same with our bin men but the guy who comes every 2 weeks to wash and clean our bin will get a generous tip as he is good ;o).. Lonnie mama to Phoebe and Eloisa and expecting a Christmas delivery.. When the jar is always full of biscuits What's the fun in biscuits??

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Yes, I suddenly wondered what I should know or not and then remembered that Hannah Hamer's DH is a postman ;o)) Hannah Hutton Re: tip for postman Yikes I'd better do a bit better this year - ... & why Hannah?

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 I never tip ours, on the basis that he only comes when it's pouring with rain, so he makes very little difference!

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 <<<<Now you've passed me by - someone who cleans your bin????????>>>>> LOL yes I have a company who comes every 2 weeks and clean and disinfect my bin for me. (leaves it smelling all nice and lemony) and then sticks a plastic bag inside it. This then gets thrown away with the next weeks rubbish and then you go have the bin as it is for 1 week and they then arrive and clean it again ;o).. Sounds extravagant perhaps but I really like not having a bin that is all mucky or has maggots in it (and I know several people who have had that problem) and I REALLY do not want to do it myself (and dh just never gets around to do it lol) Lonnie mama to Phoebe and Eloisa and expecting a Christmas delivery..
