Gifts to tradesman

[blup]

What gifts, presents have you received over the years from grateful customers for completing a job or maybe at Christmas if you get regular work. I want to suitably reward my independent garage mechanic who's saved me thousands by his honest workmanship and advice.

I once oversaw some work on a VERY rich blokes property. Despite the invoice being paid promptly, & I was suitably rewarded for my efforts, I got the very same box of wine that everyone else who worked on the project received. I don't think I was the only one who looked up exactly what those 12x bottles were worth . . . . . . Almost too much to drink. (Hic)

Pop in for a chat with him, just as a friendly gesture. Tell him about some wine/beer you were drinking a few nights ago and casually ask him whats his favourite tipple. If he says lager, ask what brand, wine ask if red or white or any particular favourite.
