I've heard of a bloke who repaired his thongs by gluing old lino onto the bottoms. Now that's tight!

This is true.

One of the richest men in my Home Town was Mr George ~ (His real surname, now well and truly deceased.) The tight-arse bastard would use the Christmas cards he got the previous year to send to people this Year. He'd cover over the greeting on the year old card.

I dont think your mean at all boges... maybe a touch cheap...years ago it was expected to be frugal..save the brown paper and rubber bands even bits of string....

but today we throw everything away.. even when theres not a thing wrong with it..

you know..

I think we were happier in days of yore.

this throw away world seems hell bent on destroying itself.

Before the days of margarine,

I remember mum used to save the paper that was around a pound of butter, fold it up and keep it in the fridge then use it to grease the cake tin when making a cake!

My uncle was so mean, when he came to visit me in the city, he would bring his letters so I could drive around and deliver them.

Your Mum made cakes? Did she leave you the recipes? Monk, the Fermentator, needs to know. Do not give the recipes away, demand compensation. ;)
