No but then they're the outliers. A kind of old way of showing how much you have. Most tipping is probably the direct service industries such as restaurants. That's the only place I have tipped, but then I've never stayed in a truly posh hotel that had people to carry luggage to people's rooms.

One of the Lakeland legends of food. Unfortunately I don't like ginger so have never tried it or wanted to. I do know people who do not can't face the queues. Summer they get big and no doubt other seasons too now it's an all round tourism area these days.

It matters not how much they were paid it was the intention of the customer who was satisfied with the service that determines the reason for the tip. I tip not to top up wages but to say thank you for giving me good service. AS for tipping anyone that is a strange argument. We are talking...

I thought tips have always been about reward for service. The tip the bellboy for carrying your heavy bags up or tip for good service at the restaurant. It is a reward not a top up of low wages. Or at least that is the UK tradition.

I disagree that they should be added to every item price because tipping and service charge is purely meant to be a reward for good service in this country. Not so in America but then we are not America so should not follow where they lead, certainly not in this. Adding such charges as a lump...

We used to pay by card and if service was good we paid a tip by cash. Usually leave it in the tray on the table and leave without seeing any reaction. We always tip at 10% of the cost of the bill if it is warranted. If not it is either half that or nothing. When one place we ate at a lot and...

Legal query was a theoretical. If I had time it would have been food for us. I was just curious as to the exact legal situation not that it would matter. I literally had no time to do anything with it. A very busy day so it's in a bin bag in the wheelie bin ready for the next collection. A...

Years ago I heard the country rule about if you hit it with the car or van you coulkd not take it home to eat it. How true that is I have no idea but who would leave a nice pheasant you just hit?? Now transfer to our house with the big windows and trees reflecting in them. We get a few asmall...

It depends on the sunbed. There are some with the right kind of light thzt is the UV type that causes less damage. if you know that the lamps in the thing are the right kind then you are minimising but if you have to go somewhere to use theirs then you auite possibly have no guarantee over that...

Forgot to say, you can buy wildlife cameras cheaply these days. Aldi / lidl have sold them at times.

That happened to a friend's lab. But to be fair he was ratting at the time. Seriously, they had a rat dog crossed with a chihuahua that flushed them out but could not kill and a lab that could not flysh but could kill. It got put out by the rat hanging off its nose. Apparently some rats fight...

And don't use sun beds!

Sun beds are iffy unless you know it is not producing the more harmless UV type. A lot are producing the moree harmful UV so perhaps look for another way to get enough vit d. especially if you are older with a history of being out in the sun a lot. Skin cancer killed my grandad so its something...

Does anyone else like the taste of pure lemon juice? Which commonly bought fruit has the most vit C in it when juiced? I used to think lemon had most but read that there was a certain other citrus fruit (like an orange type) that was higher in vit c. If you consume too much vit c is there a...

BTW my first indicator of a cold is my temp sense goes funny. I feel cold when I should be hot or hot when I should be cold. That is my first symptom about 3 days before any traditional cold symptoms. Others in our house get a sore throat first.

In our house the cure seems to be a few sleeps worth of snoring badly and keeping the other half awake! That works for me any my partner, in fact she is worse than me!! Other than that I basically make my own lemsip type of thing. I take two paracetemol tablets (the powder leaves a lot in cup...

I once learnt God Save the Queen on the Trumpet at school. Obviously I hated playing the trumpet so I taught myself God Save the Queen on the piano. Last time I played it was about 3 years ago when my lad was learning the piano (on a loaned keyboard), In that case I played it as my partner is...

AI isn't a threat, it is too busy making dodgy images of people with three hands and 6.5 fingers per hand or internet porn from images on someone's insta account!! Seriously, with teenagers in control you will run out of electicity supply and porn memes before you will see AI take over the...

It is irrelevant about whether any owner knows whether his is over the poundage limit. Ignorance of the law is no defence as is ignorance of you airguns poundage I reckon. However I bet they take a degree of judgement over it as they do everylaw transgression. Or the CPS do based on public...

Interesting point. Anyone who argues the opposite point to you has ruffled feathers and get told to relax. Trust me there are no ruffled feathers I just don't agree with your POV.
