Last time always gave 50 to tissue sellers, 10 for cabbies and 5 for waiters. Now can afford only 1 each.

1 pound is also money, and the cab driver must appreciate and accept the tip..............that is the right thing for the cab driver to do........... Big Grin

Tipping is not warranted in most situations unless the provider or server has gone out of his way to provide the service. Don't spoil market lah.
