Sinc you don't have &(thats going to be my pound symbol fyi)1 bills, what do you put in strippers panties and buttcracks? Do strippers carry change purses? Do you tip with a &5 but only every half hour?

Erm, use & as pound, it fits better.
I have no idea, never having been to a strip bar, but probably yeah, it'd make sense. Or tuck a load of £1 coins in!
And then ask for cash back.
There are still pound notes in Scotland but I don't think they're is the same tipping culture. You pay for private dances instead. Not that I would know
I thought it sounded familiar
Maybe strippers are marsupials and have hidden pouches to secret their cash into :chin:
Heheh. I think it would be rude to give them free money off coupons myself Meh. $5...just give em that.
Can I just say - the BEST tip in Take A Break was earlier this year - complete with a photo. So I think it must have won £20? Anyway. It was about a girl who was pissed off that her boyfriend didn't buy her slippers for Christmas like she had asked him. So she made her own.
From sanitary towels.
And yes, there really was a photo of her wearing them.
I was at work when I found it... me and my work mate laughed til we cried - then photocopied it and sent it to all of our mates. Courtesy of Friends Provident and their free envelopes.
We also wrote into Pick Me Up/Real People - the one with Puzzlin' Paul in, anyway - and declared our love for him, and demanded a Puzzlin' Paul fans letter page.
Of course the plus point is that the lap dancing girls were nice girls and would give us free dances every so often.
Yeah, you tip the girls. Tip them for giving you a lap dance, stick money in their panties whilst they bend over to shake their boobs in your face, but &5 just seems too excessive I got curious. Granted you can and alot do spend at least a hundo a night, but its spread out thru the various strippers for different things. I'd hate to waste all my money in one spot I like to give each man (in my case) their fare share of money, but not too much
Well, technically, technically...they buy you the drinks, and you pay for it later.
One of my mates, when he was a lap dancing bar virgin, didn't know this and he genuinely thought that this scantily clad girl was buying him drinks and when at the end of the night they told him to fork out £80 he felt so stupid. Idiot!
*takes note
I've never come across that?
There's a bar where you can buy yourself or the dancer drinks for cash.
That's how it's always worked at the places I've been, and it's how it works where my sister dances.
Did he not mistake the bar girl and a tab for a stripper? I've never seen a stripper handle alcohol or "buy them drinks."
Yeah, the one lapdancing place I was at worked like that.
It was so, so weird like all the older men talking away to the fit young things, such a seedy wee place.
I was 17 and innocent at the time and went with my mates, I sat at the back crapping myself with my drink firmly in my hand so she wouldn't come and dance on me :angel:
This was in Paris about 4 years ago, when we were down for a footie tournament.
As for the UK, when one of my mates was at Uni in Southampton, I used to visit and he'd take me to these lap dancing bars and the girls would get us drinks and all that... mind you, they all knew him and he knew the guv there, so I am not sure whether it's like that all over the UK.
The one I went to in Ipswich a couple of times was like that as well...
We are taking one of our mates to Birmingham in a month for his stag do and we might visit a few strip bars around Broad street or whatever... maybe it's an idea to get him a load of Washington's to use on the stripper...
Meantime, I have never gone to see a stripper. You don't need to pay to see people strip, for God's sake.
