    Default Dancers in the UK

    This may be a really stupid question. I tried a search and came up empty.

    I've been to England a few times on business but never to a strip club over there.

    The first time I went, I spent a TON of money at the bars and didn't keep receipts because my American "mind set" is that if it's change that you scrape off the dresser and stuff your pockets with, it's not enough money to worry about.

    This came back to bite me though. Between 1 and 2 pound coins, I could end up with 50 bucks in my pocket and still spend it like pocket change.

    This got me to thinking, how does stage tipping work in the UK? Without any paper notes worth less that 5 pounds (8-9 dollars) is all of the stage tipping done with 5's? It seems a little tough to stick 1 or 2 pound coins under a garter and keep them there.

    FEAR NOT! for we do indeed have £1 notes. but with the exchange rate as it is at the moment thats approximately half a dollar. so tip two pound notes if you want to be nice

    That's amazing. I've never seen a 1 pound note on any of my trips over there. Maybe the strip clubs are hoarding them.

    I could be wrong, but I think you have the exchange rate backwards (or else I got REALLY ripped off). I believe 1 pound is almost 2 dollars. or $1 = ~50p.

    hehe yes you are right, i got the exchange rate backwards
    peeps tend to dislike the £1 notes here which is why you prob didnt see any, they take up too much room and people hate getting them in change. But in SC's they become useful.
    Hope you have a lovely time when you come over.

    As lovely a time as can be had in Doncaster. LOTS of pubs, a really cool racetrack, but semmingly little else.

    As far as I know, thee are still some pound notes in Scotland but they were discontinued in England long ago.
    Stage tipping isn't common in London clubs, it's nothing like America. The pubs have collections where before her set the girl collects a pound coin off every customer.

    I would always be happy to accept whatever monetary notes you cared to hand me while I was dancing!

    I really wish there was such a thing as stage tipping in London. In some clubs, you can buy special "tipping dollars" but no one ever does. English people dont really understand what a strip club is about it seems.
