My mom on a trip back home, gave the driver a dollar tip and he did similar...threw the dollar back at her

It's an insult....

You are not reading what I said we did not give him a 5 cent tip he assumed it was we were still in the car.

Ex gave the driver 3$ and he pulled 5 cents out of his pocket and threw it at us saying is this my f...ing tip you call this a tip but we were waiting for the change as he was a nasty piece of work from the start. I know what the culture is like my best friend was married to a guy from LA and I am well travelled as it happens. I think apart from Gambling I think most of my money went on tips while in Vegas

I'm sorry if you get cr@p service where ever it is you dont tip. As this journey was no more than a mile he knew we were not going to tip him much so he could of added more to the fare we would not have argued with the ugly basket....but as I said we did not give him a 5cent tip he assumed that it was.

Well...thats me bl@@dy told

Ouch

I have an OH who dislikes tipping at the best of times ...lucky we don't get out much then!!

We have Ronnie Corbett on at the moment but recording Battle of Britian only because I want to show HID the place I lived in as a part of the film was filmed in this place

Is that Ronnie Corbett thing any good? Daughter thought it might be. At least it would have been funnier than watching discussions on mummified bodies.


"The hair is spectacular".....yuk........I'm eating prawn cocktail Pringles if they don't mind.

I have the last in the series of Camelot on. Its been surprisingly good

What ever :-(

Place I live(almost)is in that film about Dylan Thomas....

Had a short trip to Ikea ..... really didn't spend a lot of time there! Most unusual!


I wanted a fabric roller blind for the kitchen window. They ddin't have a size that was anywhere near what we need. And any alterations (which they say can be "easily done" were so huge that it wasn't worth considering!

So, I bought 2 panels of curtaining material. Have to shorten them ....... they don't seem to offer any short curtains for soem reason ................ but I think they'll look good


and less than $25 for the pair! That's ca £10 or £11

Second hand pushchair had to be bought today as THE pushchair wouldnt fit in my little car...Child carseat is a little tight for nearly 3 yr old who will be 4 next month so booster seat had to be bought today as well....Motorworld did them in local town...£10 for a piece of polystyrene covered in fabric...!

At least pushchair can stay here until no more babies arrive...£20 Immaculate and folds down lovely and is really light not like those great big heavy things everyone seems to have now...

Going to bed before 3 yr old gets up as he seems to only need 6 hours or so and was up at 5.30am this morn and still screaming he WAS NOT tired at 9.30pm...Arggghhhhhhhhhhhhh

NIght yer all......

daughter has one of the smaller "giant" pushchair, which takes up almost all the room in the car trunk, and is also heavy and awkward to lift in and out of there.

So she said that she was going to look for a very light one ..... something similar to the Umbroller that we used for her in the 1970s, and which went all over the world with us, even up mountains :-D


Asked her when we got ovr there the other week "have you found one?"

Yep, says she ........................... but the handles are too low for M to push the stroller. He loves to do that, so it was no go in finding a lighter one!



I just wonder what is going to happen next year .......... they're planning on coming here during the summer :-S
