villan,nobody is whingeing or whinging .
so stop being impolite
What I have done is started a discussion,this does not mean that I   think I am not getting paid enough.
what I have said is this:if someone from a different culture[america]tips me[either with a drink or money] in a folk club,I would not refuse it .I accept the tip not because I do not think Iam getting paid enough ,but because it would be bad manners and churlish to refuse their appreciation.
I then asked what other people opinions were.
what has this got to do with whingeing,this is supposed to be a discussion forum, is it not possible to discuss a topic without people being rude.
Villan you are ...... rude
