Ten quid of that was from a customer on my old duty who handed it to their current postie, and I don't anticipate getting much more as the duty I am currently on is full of work-dodging, gate-tying, dog-imitating, night-walking, morning-avoiding wastes of skin.
You need a delivery in Standish, they are a much better class of people and far more generous :wink:

I got:

Mini Bottle of wine
Bottle of nasty Belgian lager
8 bananas
4 apples
2 oranges
and a bunch of grapes.

All from one crazy little old lady.
Not that I don't appreciate it, but I had to carry it all around with me the rest of the day.
And then I found out the van driver that brought her a parcel later in the day got told "sorry, i haven't got any more to give... Here's ten pounds instead."

bastard.

£40 and a bottle of wine for me. Bloke next to me is up to £200 so far. Mind you his walk is full of old people who tend to tip as its kind of an old fashioned thing I guess! :dance Mind you his walk does look like one massive queue of people lining up for the local grave yard! :d'oh!
