As I've been working from home this year I've got to know the regular postman. I know it's rare these days to get the same one from one day to the next. Now we're approaching the season of goodwill, is it still "the done thing" to give him a small present and if so, how much? Is £5 considered mean; if he got that from every house on his round then it would be a reasonable sum.
He's pretty good, often ringing doorbell if something looks like it won't go through letterbox, instead of trying to force it. Did have to stop him knocking glass in door and politely suggesting he used the bell......
The bin men aren't getting anything as I take my rubbish to the local tip.
