How many of you still give Christmas tips, if you do, who do you give them to and how much do you give, a sum of £5 has been suggested but is that a little steep?
In these days one does not seem to have the same personal contact with the various services at one's door, has one did years ago.
Take the dustman for example, some councils won't allow their employees to accept tips and besides gone are the days when they would come to where you kept the galvanised steel bin, lift it on their shoulder take it to the vehicle and empty it and then return it from where they had picked it up.
Now one has to wheel the various bins to the front of one's property and wheel them back when they are empty.
And who has a milkman these days?
