I use an App called "aurora watch uk" it's very good and it's nearly always right. It's been sending me a lot of alerts lately.

I tip if the service has been good and delivered with a smile.  Though I never carry cash, apart from a couple of notes, but I'm not throwing them away!  I'll add a tip on to the credit card bill, though.

I don't always tip, but then I don't visit top establishments where I imagine if you can afford to eat there, you can afford a tip.  :smiley: a general observation Scrumps !! Although it should be voluntary.

I tend to tip in cafes though, particularly if it's a young person serving and they're pleasant.  I no longer tip at the hairdressers, it's expensive enough.

The Chat Room / Tipping..

Do you tip ? .. 
 Very little cash is carried today.. mostly payment is made by card..
So, when you have had good service, how do you tip.?
 
Some places include a tip in the bill.. Cheeky buggers.. This can mean that the person you would like to tip seldom knows about it.. 

Perhaps it is becoming a thing of the past and people accept that there is a service charge added to the bill..
 I was presented with my bill in one of the top establishments in London..
It stated , at the bottom of the bill, that x amount of money was added to give to a certain charity..  I asked them to remove it..   
I will give to charity when I decide to..

Quote from: Alex on Yesterday at 10:46:11 PMDo you think so  ?  I like the stone colour, we saw a couple of new builds being built with this Yorkshire stone.

I do.. It can be a bit grim.. I like to see houses painted different colours... 
I guess that would be very difficult with Yorkshire stone..

Val joined a dating site, she was looking for a man
Better still, she thought to herself, a man with a van
They could pack up together travel far and wide
A nice clear windscreen and her love by her side
