Tipping etiquette

York (being the fourth part of my holiday)

York is great, a lot like Canterbury, but seemingly with more pubs. Our hotel was the birth place of Guy Fawkes, and had sloping floors and four poster beds, proper historic. It practically butts up to the cathedral, not sure you can tell from my pho...

We have a couple of vacancies on the programming team at work, all the applicants have been given a PHP test to do, and some of the scores had been a bit weak, so the bosses wondered if the test was too hard, so they gave it to all the existing staff...

This looks like the same guy

He looks like a great artist though
