Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Thrifty
My brother drives a dustcart for a living. It's a cushy job with decent pay and most favourable hours. He lives alone, though isn't single. Yet a more miserly person I have yet to meet. I'm convinced he spends time at his girlfriend's house because it won't cost himself anything in gas/electric/toilet paper. Last time I went to his house he had his coat on so he didn't have to put the heating on.
But then, he is bankrolling his 18yo daughter while she's at college, and he does go on at least 3 holidays abroad a year, one of which is usually long-haul.
Do you/someone you know makes Scrooge look like a the World's greatest philanthropist?
