tips (money type )

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

have you recently been given a TIP, Ive not been given a tip for years now but when i was young lad ,we were always given a tip at the end of a job ,i must admit it got on my nerves in America having to tip everyone

2.30 at ascot, did'nt come in:yikes:

More often than not i get a tip usually about £10/20 but once got one for £140. Priced the job at £260 was a small kitchen splash+floor and customer said i under quoted her and insisted i take the money.

I would rather have praise than money. £10 only lasts so long...praise a life time

got a tenner tip yesterday, it made my day, not the amount, but that the customer was happy. (before that Id never had a tip in my life) I called her back this evening to make sure her floor had hardened and set ok, that tickled her and she’s asked me to be back in next week to org the rest of her kitchen.

Tip of a different sort. I dont recommend anyone to buy shares on a random tip from a forum.
But a company called Desire Petroleum, listed on the AIM with the LSE is preparing to drill offshore the Falkland Isles. A mobile rig is currently being towed there to start a year long drilling campaign in early Feburary.
There is a long history to the ownership of the ground that the UK government fought bitterly over. Again Oil causing a war!! However there is a serious upside to the share price if (yes its only an IF) they find commercial oil reserves. They already know oil is there from wells drilled back in the 80's by Shell. The wells where abandoned without fully testing as the price of oil was $9 and it deemed not economic. In todays market oil is at $80 plus.
The share price currently is around 80p, having already climbed from sub 20p earlier in the year. Rumour is commercial oil on a North Sea scale could drive the price well over £10. However if they drill and find little or nothing the share price would collapse to a few pence.

I have a little money invested, its a risk im willing to take on longterm research. If you are interested please do your own research.

Its a difficult one for me because if it does go good, then people will say why didnt you share your information, but if it goes bad they would rather not have heard.

Question I keep asking myself, Maggie didnt send men to die for a few 1000 sheep on an island in the southern hemisphere for nothing? I have my fingers crossed!

Best tip I know of was my Dad in 1966, it was a £100 for an engineering job he done, how much would that be worth today

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

nice one Davy its good of you to share this knowledge

Always tell a customer if they are happy with the job to spread the word when they offer a tip and to keep the money instead. Of course they always force it on you but it just enhances your reputation a little bit!
