Re: how you doing for tips?
One of my customers tipped me 20 quid last year..no chance of that this year, thanks to the income tax ingesting parasites I have to deliver to on my new duty. My grand total currently stands at 20 quid and a box of chocolates, and a tenner of that was from a customer on my old duty. And on the topic of Prestwick, it is quite a nice town, I used to regularly make tips from delivering pizzas there (well, to the affluent bits anyway).johnnyp wrote:First one today £20
