If our coalman is the same bloke we have had for years, from Corralls, he gets a bottle of wine, but as our great old (young) postman, Steve, left, we really don't feel inclined to give them anything, especially as their strike issues somewhat dampen our enthusiasm for goodwill an' all that...
The dustmen don't really count, especially as they always leave the emptied blasted bin right in the middle of our gates, so I couldn't get back in this morning without a big detour and a lot of bad language!
But we always tip our hairdressers, as they work their socks off, and always do a home visit for Mrs Growster, which is just marvellous!
