When I visit your country I respect your customs and I tip what is IMO excessively for what I get in return. When you visit my country please respect our customs and don't tip where it isn't the norm ... the last thing I and probably many others want in the UK is a tipping culture to develop.

It's October 31st and gone is our tradition of Haloween now we have commercial Trick or Treat.... more flippin Tippin!
Who said anything about starting a culture revolution...I love to show appreciation for good service, and tipping is one way, I certainly don't tip bad service. Maybe if more people tipped in the UK, the customer service would improve!
