ah!
i suspect you may be a merkin.

the US and the UK conventions on tipping are quite different. It is quite acceptable not to tip in the UK if you feel the service or the food is not up to scratch... much more civilised.

anyone who chased me down the street looking for a tip would get one - how to best avoid a broken nose the next time

I am not a pubic wig!
I am as british as that bloke who played rumpole in 'rumpole of the bailey'. However I have lived in the states. Damn! I appear to be corrupted.

sunday is a work day here
weekend is friday sat

works well

sundays are alwasy a bit relaxed as half the staff are ex pats conditioned to the idea of sunday as a day off - so we tend to ease into the day

monday aint a chore cos well - it's not really monday

tuesday - new hump day!

wednesday - hurtling toward the ends of the week

thursday - the new friday YAY

"It is quite acceptable not to tip in the UK"
... hence the not uncommon attempt to shoehorn one onto the bill with an "optional service charge"
