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.

My Dad......is such a tightwad that when our immersion heater broke about 15 years ago, he refused to replace it, stating that "it's cheaper to build a fire to get hot water" in spite of the fact that it takes about an hour to get a tank of hot water and it's not exactly the kind of thing you want in the middle of summer.
And he prefers to do his shopping when Tesco is not far from closing, "more yellow labels".
I'm sure if he could run a generator off hot air he'd fix one up to my brother.
