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.

Not saying he's tight, but I swear you can hear him squeek when he walks.

His GF asked him to use his mobile to phone a friend. His response? "Wait until snee gets here - he gets free minutes on his..."

And if we're drinking and in a round, if it's his turn, he'll wait until as many of the roundees are absent (toilet, smoking) before stumping up for a couple of pints.

Nice bloke though (for a Mackem).

It's surely in the post code?
Sand-dancers have NE postcodes. Mackems have Sunderland (SR) postcodes... But who cares when they are *all* on the wrong side of the river?

No idea...
I'm near Cambridge - we're planning a weekend up in Sunderland soon though, I'll poll the locals...

I never understood the concept of a round.
Why can't we just buy our own drinks? We all end up drinking the same, and it costs exactly the same either way. Just how long can the queue at the bar be that you can't get your own drink?
