Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

I was walking my little brood home one night in the freezng coldamd they were hungry. I decided that they needed some emergency hot food.
Although they were only complaining politely, I sternly asked 'Do you want a smack?'
No, they didn't, but they were hungry...
I asked again, 'Do you want a smack? Are you SURE?'
and glanced meaningfully at the chip shop we were approaching.
Round here, a slice of potato deep fried in batter is known as a 'smack' and is just the thing for a cold, hungry kid.
'Oooh yes! We DO want a smack! We want a BIG smack!'
They all had a smack each, and deserved it, the little urchins.
