Beekay 5,134 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Fancy owning up Trogg. I made a point of not divulging any names. You may as well admit to splitting bog rolls into single ply sheets now, and clear your conscience. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,279 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 In the 50's there was a newspaper seller on the corner outside Bentink Rd School who used to sing in a very loud voice "Pooooooow,'n N'oooooooz"...., "Noooooz, n', Poooooooow". He also sang at the Palais when the big bands took a break. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRS B 511 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 My brother used to pick up nub ends of discarded cigs and extract the baccy to use in roll ups. Disgusting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 There's plenty of others who have done that MrsB. As a lad I knew a couple of kids in my area who would follow a bloke who was smoking, to see if he would throw away the dog end while it was still lit. That way they could grab a few drags of tobacco before it were too small to puff on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have gone one better than that Beekay I have gone back to the fifties, newspaper squares, the problem with that is that I donot buy newspapers. So now I use my free bus and tram pass and I travel on them until I find newspapers that people have left ,when I have enough its home and cut them up. I have many other money saving tips if you need them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 @trogg, and can I assume that you thread the squares onto recycled parcel string before hanging them up. And what's the best way to remove print from yer bum? Pssst, another tip saver tip for you...Nearly all supermarkets have a big 'charity basket' near the tills. You can get some lovely bargains in there if you root around. Must admit, I get a bit bored with Whiskas and Winalot, ( the biscuits don't dunk very well). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It still keeps its crunch though. @philmayfield, gives a whole new meaning to the song " Keep your sunny side up". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
