The Two Brits are Malcolm Teasdale and Francis Carden.The title will tempt you to listen to the whole podcast. What on earth is Mother's Ruin and Spotted Dick?The attempt to answer the question of why us Brits drink warm beer. It is not as bad as it seems.Is tipping getting out of order? Do you feel compelled to tip a server for 30 secs of their time to collect a payment? Do you feel rushed at a restaurant, so the wait staff can make more money from tips from more customers? Should the restaurant increase the staff's salary?Should someone open a restauant where tipping is not allowed?Some countries consider tipping as being rude. Lots of unanswered questions candidly answered.
