I help poor chaps who refer to themselves in the third person by pointing it out.
Don’t we?  |

"Define poor? Certainly not the delivery driver wearing designer clothes, £10k worth of jewellery and carrying an iPhone 14. "
probably gold from the market  Del trotter type gold having said that the takeaway near me he set up shop about 8 years ago he drove a Vauxhall Astra when he first opened he now goes to his shop in one of them Mercedes’ G wagons not a diesel one either it’s the proper v8 AMG powered one |

Well I've giving my government energy grant to charity as I don't actually need it and will do with the rest of them . Hope this inspires others to do the same x |

I dont like giving to big charity organizations. I prefer to give directly to people.
I don't go into town often, but when I do I will pop into a store and make up a couple of parcels for any rough sleepers I see. Bread, spreads, snacks, treats, pot noodles, soups & tea, etc. Or failing that a Greg's gift card, so that they can get a couple of hot meals and drinks.
Also always put something into the food bank collection baskets at my local supermarket. |

About 2/3 times a month we have a pizza/etc delivered. We've already paid online and dont pay a tip etc as the people delivering could easily work longer hours and or get a better job especially in London
The only tip I would give to anyone expecting a tip is a free tip EG, get a better job
Btw, pizza hut charge a delivery rate of about 3 pounds where we live so I'm guessing they are getting that on top of their other rates.. |

The delivery allowance to drivers rarely covers the fuel used and they are usually on min wage |
