I thought there was no tipping there? I thought America was the only place where tips are expected.

It was unusual to be added to the bill but is becoming more common now. I would often ‘round up’ in a café or approx 10% in a proper restaurant.

Imagine being so naïve that you still believe the myth about British teeth.

Before this law I always asked the server if the tip went wholly to the staff. If it didn’t I asked them to remove it and tipped in cash.

No, tipping exists everywhere in Europe, it's just an actual tipping amount, not i'm-paying-you-most-of-your-wage amount. 5 (good service, no complaints) to 10 (outstanding service) %. If you tip 20-25%, like is now becoming customary in the US, they will think that you're either a dumb american or a crazy person.
