No , I might get a rather scathing look if I did. Tipping is not the done thing here. It takes a lot of adjusting for us to get the idea of tipping right in Europe. We either forget or tip far too much!

We don't tip either here
In the café and by the hairdresser the service charge is included in the price.

When I was in America I noticed that the bill already had the tip included,that makes sense I suppose but a tad difficult in other situations.

Doreen's way is the best.
I always tip the service people. I say: “Here's a good tip, don't back horses.”
