Things you've done when you've had no money.Apart from the usual survival rations of beans, white bread and Doll Noodles™, we've all done things to compensate for having no money. Personally I spent 6 months barefoot to save on the cost of shoes. What pathetic things have you done when the cash ran out?

pint of "Ta"Many (about 14) years ago scroungers at the Camberley indie club I used to go to would walk around with an empty pint glass (or an abandoned one with a few dregs in it) and ask for a few drops of booze from other peoples drinks.
Didn’t matter what they were drinking, lager, cider, interesting lager/cider/blackcurrant combinations, bitter, J&D and coke, whatever. All went into the murky fluids sloshing around in their beaker to make a ‘pint of tar’ or ‘ta’. It was named after the taste of the stuff or, maybe, what the manky wasters said after one had surrendered some of ones own booze.
