    We've only ever used removal men once, there were three of them and we must have tipped them £50 or something. Then when we'd unpacked we realised my passport, driving licence and our dogs pedigree papers had gone missing. Few weeks later, so did the dobermann. we never got to the bottom of it.

    But hey, doesnt mean it will happen to you! Good luck with your move, and don't forget the bacon butties!


    :confused: oh no...that's very suspicious :o
    mm..we'll prob be moving ourselves how much should i tip me :D

    Cheers for the advice everyone- got some good guidance so much appreciated

    Only thing probably won't do is the baconbutties as both me and the missus are vegetarian!

    Well then, they can have some lettuce to suck on instead then ;)


    (I'm veggie too and was actually offered this option in a restaurant once :rotfl: )

    We tipped £50 last time, four men moved us out and two of them came with us and moved us in. But they were very good.

    I'm vegetarian too, and I've lost count of the number of times in restaurants where I've asked what the vegetarian option was and been told it was fish! In a hotel in Holland, the vegetarian option was a cheese and ham toastie!
