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 should be shocked.But then, it has long been known that a good half of those in the public sector would have been long ago sacked in the private sector.

My cousin works for his local authority.Apparently, it's pretty much impossible to get sacked there. Taxpayers in that region are paying for people to do about half an hour's work per day, come and go as they please, and sit on facebook most of the time. That's when they're not phoning in sick with 'stress'.

Hmm. Change it to "He said"?(
