Do you tip tradesmen?

Re: Do you tip tradesmen?

But why the distinction though? I don't get it at all, it comes across as there being different grades of crockery for different grades of people

I don't understand the issue :shrug:

If you're coming over to sit on the settee and have a chat, you can have my rambo mug.

If you're having your brew on the top of a ladder, plastering, by a cement mixer outside, building a wall, doing some tiling, sawing up wood, you're having a second rate mug so that you can chip or smash it to your heart's content. My rambo one cost me 8 quid and i'm not going down the city shop anytime soon.

And you'd think it was one of my first rate mugs if I hadn't told you it was one of my second rate mugs. And the second rate ones were first rate once.

You'll even feel like someone who loves you got it for you from Fuerteventura.

What's the matter with people :sherlock:

I like a little rest during the afternoon, I'd expect the use of your king-size for an hour or so, and puff the pillows up for me. Anything else is disrespectful.

This has all made me question myself so much that I've smashed up all my mugs. I've ordered a pack of 12 solid gold mugs on klarna so that nobody feels bad.
I've also ordered identical furniture to put said mugs on outside, for when it's that type of work. No coasters, obvs.

Can't afford to tip now, who says CCMB can't come up with the answers.

Careful with Klarna. Theres a scam letter going around for a collections agency, they tried to us DHGate on my letter and an unpaid bill of £77 odd had all the klarna company details on the bottom as well, I googled the number they put on the letter though and it came back as a scam. Others may not be so sharp. Spoken to people who said thrive heard the same thing with different companies and amounts using Klarna. I've never used them as my bank offered a BNPL service.

Never mind boys, you just keep ****ing your houses up and we'll come over and put it right for you👍🤣

I heard there's a lot of repair work needed at the moment. People keep f**cking up their houses by smashing holes in walls to release birds 🤣

The bird is Alive and Well. He lives in a bird house and i feed him every day. He flies on to my shoulder. There would have been no chance of me saving it if i had, had to pay for the repairs... :hehe: :thumbup:

It’s one of those heart-warming stories we get after the sh*t news. Like the appointment of a right-wing Work & Pensions Minister. I know you know what I’m doing here. Fighting talk. 👍 I f*cking love what you did and are doing.

I hope he doesn’t read this board after your last sentence! Although he most probably spends his time tweeting on X or X ing on Twitter. Confusing that is now, do people still tweet? Anyway, now he spends time on your shoulder, there’s a budget Treasure Island production coming up at the Memorial Hall in Rumney, they can’t afford a parrot for Long John Silver, I’ve booked you in to have your leg off next Tuesday, you’ll get the part, no problem :thumbup:

Tip if you want, don't if you don't want to.

I thought these types of "help" thread were Sludgies forte, he's been lacking lately.

As for the "cup dilemma" shall we say, what a bunch of pompous twats :hehe:

You’ll not see Sludge in this thread. It’s about work 😂

Re: Do you tip tradesmen?

Ive always rounded up with tradesman up to a maximum of £50 before covid but after covid their rates are crazy.

Had a handyman, who always did little things for £30/40 quid for me pre covid, to refit fit two broken decking boards for me. Little hobble after work one day. He was here for 20 minutes tops and charged me £80 fecking quid. No way rounding up to a ton.
