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).

I'm a floater so don't normally get anything,but got a box of Ferrero rocher today of a lady, the boss asked me to redeliver a packet for her for a differnt round as i was passing anyway so i took it and she really appreciated it.

One guy in our office used to get £150 of one woman who was loaded,she's moved away now.
