Big Tipper


In one of those small moments that happen on any trip we ended up tipping our waitress 12 pounds for a 70 pound meal!
We were eating at Loch Fyne in George Street Bath, just up from Gay Street. Our waitress spoke with a strong accent but she was helpful and friendly, a little like Aurelia from "Love Actually" but not as pretty. Tess wanted me to add a reasonable tip which I did on the visa docket. However, as I explained to the waitress, I don't have the maths to calculate the additional bit to round up the bill so instead I simply write a new total. Tess thought I couldn't work out how to add the tip so used some of our precious cash instead to quietly say thankyou. Then outside we discovered we had both ....
Shame we didn't go back for another meal - the service would have been spectacular. BTW, the halibut was very tasty.
