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.

well thanks for the understanding...
it's nice to see that a forum so famed for its tolerance has rushed to judge me with very few asking me any specific
s.

For the record, I *have* paid, I *always* pay and these services that everyone is so keen to shove in my face (like rubbish collection and the police) show up once in a blue moon.

on the other hand, maybe there is a point here... you see, my first thought was to collect as much evidence as possible as to the amount of money wasted by my council and councillors, and to post it here to support my point. now I think I'll present it, along with my own personal grievances, to my local councillorsand protest the old fashioned way.
the direct debit, by the way, was taken twice, failing the second time but still registering as a missed payment. I don't actually owe them a penny. maybe my original post wasn't clear enough, but thanks for leaping to conclusions anyway.
