I got so annoyed at my family this weekend, they were adding up the bill for who was going to pay what for my birthday meal that I lost patience and grabbed the bill and paid it myself (It was an easy divide x by y = £25 virtually to the penny) I said just sort out the tip.
So what happens, my mother goes up to the desk to ask for change for a tenner, between 3 of them they'd put £2 on the plate, bearing in mind I'd just paid for the meal they couldn't even part with a decent tip for what was a lovely meal and good service. I just grabbed the plate which probably had about £9 on it at that juncture and I stuck a tenner on it, ###### embarrassing, they are so bleedin' tight! My folks have a shed load in the bank/savings but they are the ###### tightest of tight *****!
Aside from that I had a lovely weekend visiting fam but that really grated my cheese, bloody Northerners!
