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 know it's a cliche.....
...and one that has been reasonably well avoided until now, but Scottish people are tight.

really, they are.

When I was at Uni I was flat sharing with this guy, Ian, from Aberdeen. He was a lovely guy.

Most of the time.

Sadly, he suffered from depression.

I mean, so do I, so could understand

But it was difficult between us after the day he tried to hang himself.

I found him in the bathroom, so I ran to the kitchen to get a knife.

I cut him down. Gave him mouth to mouth, he came round.

I'd saved his life!

He looked at me,

He said 'thank you, I realised I don't want to die'

And then, he said...

...'Oh, you owe me £20 for ruining my rope'






(I am SO sorry, but, seriously, see my signature. I can't help myself)
