[scoobydo79]

What tips? No one gets any do we Guys?

The only tips we get are from Silly Suffolk and none of them are worth £30.

As previously mentioned does this new legislation on Bribery also cover CEO's self-awarded bonuses? If so they are all, and I mean all, breaking this law.

In other news, milk delivery staff; paper delivery staff; bin collection staff (along with other traditional Xmas tip receivers) may join postal workers living lives of leisure in Her Majesty's Prison Service...

Only in Britain.

The first time ever I've approved of anything published in the support-Hitler general-strike-is-revolution Daily Mail but putting 'postmen' 'tips' and '£30' in the same sentence just might encourage some of their readers to give us a bit more than the usual fiver.

I thought it was kind of the Daily Wail to remind everyone to tip their postie...........kerching! Doubt I will get anything though, had nothing but complaints today about the bloke who covered my walk last week

hysterical as if many if any are gonna give 30 quid...got 2 quid last xmas ..from a lady coming out of a lift in a block of flats ...didnt even know who she was .

The logic of the value of any tip for a postperson above £30, then begs the question what about company exc`s etc receiving gifts at xmas of a box of wine or whatever gifts above that amount.

The laws of the UK can be picked to bits.... you just appeal and appeal untill you get a better deal against any wrong you may do. But as we all know the higher up the wealth ladder you are, lifes limits that affect you are reduced.

So as an example if you are offered a £40 cash gift, maybe ask for 2 seperate gifts of £20.

Hi All!

This is my open letter to bosses of royal mail:

Do you tip at restaurants/hairdressers/taxi drivers etc? Do you consider that to be bribery?

As postie I am humbled if given a tip. Some of the comments written in Christmas cards from customers about my work have moved me to tears in the past, are these the thoughts of a corrupt empoyee?

All my tips are used by me on Christmas Day to provide a luxury meal with all the trimmings for the homeless in our area. We do this outside, last year was -6 deegrees. Would you like to come along and help, we will need extra money to pay for the food this year.

£30 - never seen a tip that size, or even heard of one.

Thank you for listening
