@Matt:

Thanks everyone.  @louisbosco I’m going to try to get us in and out of London with the utmost efficiency.  I don’t want to spend too much time there when all the action will be in Gosport.

I’ll bring some cash for tats.

yeah no worries. let us know closer to the date. I'll be driving so there could be a couple extra seats if you weren't.. I'll be coming with @Scasi from obbigood label..well that's the plan so far..

I’ll keep you posted, thanks!

Just had to say the black cordovan jeans patch is in-fucking-credible.

[Kasi]

Yep beautiful…

@Giles:

Dont forget go-karting on Fri afternoon - (yet to be announced)….

Ha, how can I forget something that has yet to be announced? I'll have to check out flight times to see what time of day we're getting in.

[Weft 4 Dead]

I’ve never needed to buy one; I’ve always been told I am a helmet.

What’s up with tipping in the UK?  Restaurants, bars, cabs, tattoos.

I don't have any tattoos, but @Graham @Bailey @Olly all have a fair few as well as most of the other lads, so someone will help there.

Don't tip in a bar when ordering at the bar. If you order food at the bar, then it's delivered to your table, usually service is not expected. If you have a sit down meal and a waiter takes your orders, then a tip would be expected, though more and more it is included in the bill total, so make sure you check the bill before leaving a tip.

I never tip Uber drivers, but sometimes will tip a cab driver in London, but it's not expected or required, and no one will call you a twat like they do in New York when you forget to tip.

10-15% is the bracket

[Matt]

Fantastic.  Thank you!

[Matt]

Though if  a NYC cabbie called me a twat I’d consider myself getting off easy.

@Matt I have plenty tattoos and I don't think I have ever tipped one, I was tempted to when my mate done it, but the cost of getting them nowadays I'm sure they make enough haha! It is certainly not expected mate.

[Matt]

Thanks!  I think if I were getting one at a shop that was taking a percentage then I’d do it but I’m sure the ones at the party will go directly to the tattooer.  Excited too ok see what he’s got in the works for us.

[Graham]

@Matt

We def don’t tip a percentage over here when getting tattooed but I may throw in an extra 10 or 20 if I have it on me and I had a really good experience.

[EdH]

My tattoo artist has flatly refused every time I've offered a tip, but he knows I'm coming back…

[Weft 4 Dead]

Sorry if mentioned: guesstimate on the anny jeans price?

[Giles]

Not had costings from the factories yet I am afraid…..

[Weft 4 Dead]

No worries. Still leaning on the annies vs. normal 634s, but I’m thinking the cordovan patch alone is going to put a small premium on them
