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 didn't have a choice
as the place I've just moved into was obviously built after water meters became mandatory.

The previous occupiers clearly subscribed to your theory, and they reduced the amount of water coming out of their cisterns. Nothing wrong there - save money, save the environment - all well and good.

However they went a bit over the top - when I arrived I found that flushing the toilets used so little what that it didn't remove used bogroll from sight, and sometimes not the turds either! Rank.

My efficient toilet has 2 flush options
Weak flush and trickle. Needless to say the trickle flush is not up to the job(bies).

they missed a trick
These fancy new khazis should have *three* buttons: Number One (gentle), Number Two (more energetic), and Dunny Chocker (activates a compressor pump hooked up to a fire-hydrant grade supply). Because it's either that, or supply new toilets with sieves, stored alongside the brush for dealing with those tricky ones.
