This is my first, as I actually have two. This is to get the thread going.
When I was 14 years old, I did a paper round and delivered newspapers 6 times a week, and some of the houses were very big and mansion like to me at that time.
A man who lived in a very large bungalow, spoke to me a few days after I had started, requesting that I pushed his daily delivery all of the way though his letterbox, so the newspapers would not get wet, should it rain before he retrieved them. This I agreed to and apologised for not doing it earlier.
A few months later, he came rushing out to speak to me, and said I had forgotten to push them all of the way through his letterbox and they had become damp. I, again apologised, stating that I had thought I had done so, but would take more care in future.
A few days before Christmas, the same man came rushing out after me, and I thought I was in for a real telling off.
To my surprise, he thanked me for keeping up with my promise of his correct delivery process and gave me my Christmas tip, of a 10 Shilling note.
P-368c
I still have this banknote, and it is number 1 in my collection. I am now 66 years old
