i had a parcel that ends up at windsor castle! there is a story in that! i know! y do want to thank the people who help you all year. on the other hand, equipment —— christmas is a very expensive time of year. you don't want to raise the bar to hire because otherwise it is difficult. but i think leaving a bottle of wine, some beer is really good, ten of biscuits, things like that, they can share with the family. if you see somebody every day, then you obviously give them a bit more, but it is difficult with the bin men, they come very early. if you give a bottle, they can then put it towards their christmas cash if they like, andl their christmas cash if they like, and i know they shared between them, but you mustn't break the bank because it is christmas. talking about cash, is giving cash a good thing or not? is that against etiquette? it used to be that you would give a small amount of cash, up would give a small amount of cash, up to £20, so you can give a note in a christmas card. money is always useful, obviously. but there is no real etiquette about it now.
