Love the background pics Stuart it makes my day plus your news of course ❤x

My photo at around 20:30!!!! Awesome, thanks !!!!!!!!

I usually tip 10% unless the service is awful. In the UK there is a minimum wage law so employees should not be relying on tips (although I'm sure they are gratefully received).
However, some restaurants have started adding 10-20% to the bill without making it obvious. This has led to double tipping!
In Jersey las week tips were refused by staff because they said they were already being paid a living wage!

I'm not a big fan of the tipping debate. Why as a consumer do you have to feel forced into giving away more of your hard earned money for a service/product you purchase…. I understand servers in America don't get paid enough to survive so tipping is seen as more of a pity action.

However in Europe, i don't see the point. I have tipped generously when waiters go above and beyond and I ensure the person that provided that service receives the tip. Apart from that I truly see no point. Employers should ensure they treat the heart of their business well and pay their employees well!

Its curious how truly toxic behaviour, of which women are the worst culprits, is ignored by the media.

Heres an example. I have a friend who divorced ten years ago, two children. Ex wife decided to move to Argentina, fully supported by the judicial system when my friend tried to stop it. Was told there was nothing be could do.

He started off calling the kids once per week, but slowly she cut off contact to the point where now, he only gets to speak to them on birthdays and Christmas.

I've seen that man break down in tears more times, he's a wreck.

The toxic behaviour of women is state supported, yet a few silly teenagers say a few works and thats 'toxic'. Sure.

400 grams, Jesus where did they stash all that! BTW who does these translations

In reference to tips, in the USA restaurants want tips at the drive up. I just orderd a pizza from Pizza Hut. I have to get in my car and drive there to pickup at the window. They have a block for tips in the checkout. The options are 18%, 20% or 24% just so the employee can hand the pizza out of the window.

While living in Spain, I think I left the change under 1Euro as a tip on the rare occasion I paid in cash, but every time we went in a group, bill split and everyone just tapped their atm/credit cards, so no tip. In USA it's 20%, but if cocktails are $15 and exceed the price of the meal, I just tip 10% on the drinks. More if service exceptional. In USA (California) I believe, based on the bill, the wait staff are taxed a certain percentage, so If you don't tip, the wait staff lose money and actually pay to serve the customer!

my husband and I bought our first home a few months before we were married,

So that breakfast I ate with my husband and paid in cash was 27$ – about what your nenú del día cost. But it was two omelettes and two coffees. You got the better deal. And on the bottom of the bill was the suggested tip = 18%, 20% or 25%. Used to be 15% was standard.

Any increase in the “ likes “ since you changed the colour of like button ?

$10 million IS alot of money even in Sydney (one of the most expensive cities in the world) where I’m from!!!

Lived here over 40 years, always tip.

You need to come to Calpe 🍾🥂🥂

Tipping culture in Canada is out of control. It used to be 10 to 20%. Now when you walk into a restaurant it's often a minimum of 15 to 18% all the way up to 30%. What's even more ridiculous is that you'll see a request for tip at places like Subway and liquor stores. As for legalizing marijuana, Canada did that several years ago. It did not get rid of the black market due to government mismanagement. The government implemented high prices in an effort to secure significant tax revenue, which only contributed to continuation of the black market. The only thing that came out of it was that people are no longer prosecuted for marijuana usage and if you go to downtown Vancouver it stinks like a giant pot factory.

It's not a migration phenomenon it's all planned look up the Marrakesh agreement

In the UK, a billion USED to be 1million million, but the UK has now adopted the USA convention of 1 thousand million.

The convention in the UK was (and is still in the non-English speaking world):

10 x 10 = 100
100 x100 = 1,000
1,000 x1,000 = 1,000,000 (million)
1,000,000 x 1,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000 (billion)

The average age for your first house in Norway is 28 years. I think very many people get help from their parents.

Here in Denver metro Colorado, USA ,marijuana has been legal for a long time. The problem is is there are a lot of bad accidents. It seems people drink and drive and combine marijuana with alcohol. I have been living here for many years and everyday I see things get worse. In the USA the customary tip for good service has been 20% for food served sit down at a restaurant. For coffee shops it is customary to leave at least $1.00 in the tip jar.

Is it just me or do I get the feeling that the Spanish don’t really like the English much?

40:20 Great…..so now people can't even agree on mathematics and numbers of money, great future for the world😖🌎 Thanks for sharing as always cheers from Barcelona 🇪🇸♥️
