    Default Large tip

    Alrighty all,
    I know there was a post a while ago about this but I had to restart it after today.
    I finished a bathroom, top spec, marble 10 x 10 diamond set floor in white/balck chesboard effect, with ceramic wall tiles with border cut to a round window. All rad pipes cuts etc where drilled with no bits set in. Real high level finish. I priced it well for over here in Northern Ireland as i put 3 coats of sealer on the floor, 2 pre and one post tiling. Well blow me the customer, who regularly commented on progress through the job and any bits they did or didnt like, gave me a 150 quid tip. I couldnt believe it, made my day!

    Well done mate. Its these type of customers that you always think are the worst and all they want is the job doing properly by a true pro!


    Forgot to add when I lived in the UK I had a tip of 100 pounds (only got euro sign, spanish keyboard) from Laurie Holloway (musical director of the BBC. He was the guy on the piano on the Parkinson show) and Marion Montgomery (jazz singer)

    I'm such a name dropper!!!!!!!!

    That is a huge tip!

    I often get the odd £20 or so. One client insisted on paying me an extra £50, as I had done exactly as he wanted.....

    But that is a whopper!
