This is a question Tightwads

There'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 briefly lived in the wonderful Netherlands

and as I thought it was imporatant to intergrate myself into their society i spent most of my time getting stoned, smoking drugs and watching hardcore porn.

No really, aside from that I had a decent bar job, long hours but good staff and fun customers. It was a great way to begin to learn the lingo and to streak a little orangey dutchness through me.

To complete my cameleonesque change from uptight Englishman to laid back groovy dutchman I thought I needed some new threads and one day went on a massive shopping spree.

I decked myself out with Dutch fashions from top to toe and head to foot. All was well with my local garb until within a week of purchase my shoes starting to fall apart.

I consulted a dutch friend of mine and he confirmed my worst fears I had bought some shite clogs.

All Bran FTW!
