I am just wondering what the deal is with Christmas tips for the following:

Cleaner
Postman
Dustmen
Anyone else ??

Can you tell me how much is an appropriate amount?

Thanks.

will be watching with interest. I chickened out with our dustmen and just left out a huge tin of choccy biscuits......
I hope they don't think I'm tight.....I may get home and find they have emptied my rubbish all over my garden......

Postman £2 Christmas scratchard in Xmas card
Milkman ditto
Dustmen £3 in card

Excellent!

What's the general tipping rate for a cleaner?

Going to leave £10 for bin men as they do us cheeky little favours all the time ( plus it's London - prices are higher and all that! )

Haven't got a cleaner any more (sob)

Nowt for moody bugger postman
