Not so much tight, but prioritising...
This is actually about my pops. Now my pops isn't short of a penny, although he works hard for it all, so I don't begrudge him a slight extravagance now and then. However, his strict upbringing means he isn't quite happy at spending his hard earned dosh, and so he prioritises thus:

1. Monthly spendage on collecting stamps c. £1000

2. Average spendage on whiskey c. £2.99 Tesco own-brand saver whiskey.

3. Average spend on tinned goods c. £0.10p super saver brand or anything in the dented tins section.

I guess when it comes to postage, go first class, but feel better about it by eating and drinking sh*t.

Christing fuck. Tell me that's not true. Three quid for some nasty petroleum derivative sold as "whisky"?

It's true.
Well, I think it's a bit dearer than that. Somewhere nearer to a fiver. But Christ, it's horrid.
