False EconomiesSometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

I wanted to learn to dance to impress a posh birdthe waltz at a Society wedding to be specific, so I had a series of lessons. In Vienna. Yes I know, but I was smitten.
At the big event the bride, groom and guests took to the floor. Before long I realised that there were titters and sniggers and muttered comments directed at me. It was my terrible attempt at doing the waltz that attracted their derision. All that money on dance lessons wasted.
That's the story of my Valtz ignominy.
Hey, I tried, OK?
