Thanks for your info folks - its great. I'm sure that many Americans are aware of us Brits, and how we are a non-tipping nation generally. I should probs think about tipping the housekeeping if i want that "extra service".
Waiting staff I do tend to tip (for good service). However, over the course of the meal, they can loose my tip for bad service. I have worked in the catering/bar industry for about 5 years, so I know exactly what to look for, and what great service actually is.
Moving the subject on slightly. What is the tipping protocol for say a all-you-care-to-eat buffet, where you are only really brought drinks and plates cleared, both on and off site.
