It's one of the good things about blogs, I can sit at the computer, which makes me feel productive, but really I'm winding down rather than doing anything useful.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-74056403599438141612011-09-21T23:03:23.817+01:002011-09-21T23:03:23.817+01:00Ooh, some brilliant contradictions there!

Especially where one has to add/delete the same on a card machine.<br /><br />We prefer to tip for exceptional service, where some one has put themselves out and to ensure that person receives the cash rather than it put into a communal pot. <br /><br />Agree with Z 's approach to this, also JL delivery guys always are willing and cheerful.

It was the look between the two men at the party, near the end, that he wanted to know how I'd interpreted!<br /><br />I wasn't a Scout, Dave.<br /><br />I wouldn't normally tip for a delivery, BW, but this is a really awkward job. It involved lifting a washer/drier over banisters while standing on a narrow staircase and working it round a tight corner. There's hardly room for three, but there has to be three people for the weight. All for JL's standard fitting charge, it's the best bargain in town (removing and disposing of the old one, just as much work for them, is only £9 extra). Delivery men aren't highly paid and an occasional appreciation is cheering for anyone.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-36055178139907840042011-09-21T08:05:19.292+01:002011-09-21T08:05:19.292+01:00I'd never dream of tipping delivery men... the...I'd never dream of tipping delivery men... they're only doing their job!
