TightwadsThere's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

I went into the town bookshop, Hammicks, when I were a nipperAnd they had a section at the back of the shop, with kids books, some big cushions to sit on; mainly to entertain kids whilst their parents were browsing for books.
So one saturday, I went there early on, got myself a couple of cushions at the back setup into a nice comfy big chair shape, and proceeded to read the entire series of Tintin books back to back.
Course, it's not that skinflint seeing as they were a fiver each, and I was 10 or whatever at the time so couldn't afford them if I'd wanted to buy them, but it was bloody great, cheap fun.

Heh hehI've spent many an hour sitting on the top floor of Waterstones working my way through their collections of graphic novels - until of course I became such a familiar sight that they cottoned on and sent me packing...
