Last year a received a small paper bag with 4 individual chocolate quality street sweets in.

After handing over a package to one house the lady asked me to wait for a moment as she had something for me. A minute later she appeared and firmly handed it to me....... A MISDELIVERED LETTER! for re delivery.

Best one I got was in an envelope sticking out of the letter box.

I opened it and saw a 2 pound coin. "Tight git" I thought. The women then came out of the house and before she could talk I thanked her for the tip. She sort of smiled. (You know the one which says."What the feck are you talking about?").

As I went to throw the envelope in the bin I saw written on it ' Paperboy. Merry Xmas'. I kept on walking....I must have looked like Gordon Jackson in the great escape. I was waiting for her to say "Goodbye" in a German accent and to be shot right there and then!

I can t belive I kept it... It haunts me every christmas for at least 5 seconds.

Never did get a good morning from the young chap after that........................ All for sake of 2 quid. What a tosser!

I would be grateful for 50p - my council estate walk has garnered me exactly 1 Christmas card (with no tip)

I bet you are one of those types that write out xmas cards to all your customers and expect a tip.............be thankful you get anything at all!

One of my ole dears stopped me last year and said to me "You must get cold this time of year, hold on I`ve got something for you!".
I was expecting a wee dram or even a pair of gloves like I always get off another customer of mine and she returned with some of them old fashioned longjohns!
The lads at work took the piss for ages and started calling me `Compo`.

It's the thought that counts. It's probably a lot of money to her.

I started a new walk this year and it had not had a regular postie for some time so i've had to work hard to restore confidence inn the service. There's one particular miserable git whom gave me a lot of hasstle this year but I have remained pleasant to him, so you can imagine I was bowled over when he handed me a fiver the other day!

Today I got my first tip which was Â£10, and thought that if all the households I delivered to also showed their apprediation by giving me about 5p for each day I delivered their post then I would be over Â£5,000 better off by Christmas !
