    Not in Manchester. They're too busy glassing you.

      He's right.

      My time has come. I have achieved my goals and objectives, albeit the toppling of the Facist state and his stooges where not by my hand but by that of a rodent army working from inside. I'd like to think i played my part but alas there is no place for me in this brave new world. And so with heavy heart I bid adeiu. Remember me. Talk fondly and with a smile but now I must go.

      Farewell CUK. Farewell. God bless you all and Tiny Tim.

              Perhaps the simple but universal "keep the change".

              You absolutely should tip in Manchester as it will help the poor loves save up for the day when they can leave that Godforsaken tulip hole.

                      In this god-forsaken, hell-hole, back-of-the@rse-end-of-nowhere, lack-of-culture place they call Manchester
                      Why the hate for Manchester? Better than the likes of Liverpool or Birmingham.

                      I hate people that 'say take your own', seems common up nawf. When I was younger, working bars, 'take your own' can mean anything. Some thinks it means 23p rounding up to the nearest pound, others take the mick and think it means £4. Drunken people used to say that as they flashed the cash, then start being abusive if you took 50p for example. Pathetic, so every person that said that to me, I never took a tip off unless they gave me some money back.

                      I just say "call it £6" or "just give me £4 change please" when I'm a patron. Very simple and no misunderstandings.
