    Tipping the mail carrier: a thing of the past?

    When I buy something at the internet there is always postage and handling on top. And I pay for that, don't know how you get around that ;) When I work I get pay. If I am good I get more pay. That's basicly how it works.

    Tipping the mail carrier: a thing of the past?

    But you allready pay for that "service", when you put stamps on a letter or pay for a parcel to be delivered. I don't know about the prices in US - but over here it's pretty expensive - and it's rising next year - and the "service" is dropping. But I guesse tipping is pretty widespread in US...

    Tipping the mail carrier: a thing of the past?

    No way!!! it's their job and they get paied for doing it. If they do it. The postal service here in Denmark is lacking everything these days. The price for sending a ordinay letter will be raised by 30% next year while they only bring out the mail every second day - so it seems. In reality...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    A 50" should be OK then. They have rather long sleeves - and if you don't fold them up, you'll be OK. I think.

    what jacket you would definitely buy again and which would you avoid

    I swear, I will never, ever buy another repro Irvin - of ANY kind - or any other jacket for that matter, if I manage to get hold of an original pre-war one size 8! And that's a promise!

    Your favorite movie quotes

    Yossarian: Is Orr crazy? Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: Of course he is. He has to be crazy to keep flying after all his close calls he's had. Yossarian: Why can't you ground him? Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: I can, but first he has to ask me. Yossarian: That's all he's gotta do to be grounded? Dr. 'Doc'...

    how many jackets are too many jacket

    How many is too many? I guesse it must be when you forget how many you have. I just found a A2 I had forgotten all about - brings the total up to 4 A2's and one IRVIN. Plus all the other jackets and coats. But they don't count.

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    I am 52 - had to go up one size, since they don't do 52. Ordere a Size 54 from Ace cafe. Fits comfortably. Not way too large and not too narrow either. But I guess it all depends on personal taste and how you like your sweaters. But if you are 50 a 54 would propably be too much.

    They look ok - allthough still far from perfect. At that price I wonder about the quality though.

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    I could only wish that AERO used anothe type of sheepskin - less "standing" and more "flat and curley" types would be absolutely super!
