Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

Charity muggers
Just tell them you already give to their charity and save yourself some time AND the £2 per month. I don't know how I sleep at night knowing I'm contributing to killing all those pensioners/child workers/AIDS victims that would love my £2 a month. But that's almost a pint!


Actually I sleep quite well at night, I got a new pillow. Hooray!

My friend Louise
is 43, and we were walking along the high street one day, when a very tall, handsome young man interrupted us, asking if we'd like to help the aged.

She looked him up and down and said, 'I know exactly how you can help the aged, young man.' and made the poor fellow go quite red.
