I think my Mum still wears some of my old gear; I can't imagine that my current threads will hold up that long.
Didn't a guy once smash up or sell (cannot recall which) all of his possessions in the empty C&A Oxford Circus store?

You stole them from C & A and gave them to her as presents. That's doubly dishonest.

I used to work with a woman who wore her dead Mother's clothes.

What's her name, Norma Bates?
There's mental and tight-fisted.

And she lived in the fruit cellar.

Were you ever a public sector employee? That's normal behaviour in that arena.

Thank you. That's sound advice Mr Sunshine.

YES! Well, I didn't realise that fact(?).

Oh believe me, it is.
Like the woman who used to bring in the remnants of her Sunday lunch to eat in a Monday, replete with some Diamond White. In a glass.
Tight arses would make a good topic thread.
I have known some incredible 'tight arse' people in my time.
I used to work on the Paris air show (putting the electrics in) and even though we had a canteen with susidised meals, one man used to bring all his own food from England.
He had a huge cooler box packed with frozen loaves of bread that lasted him 4 weeks. Jars of spreads and tubs of margarine and that was all he ate for the month. The only thing he was short of was hot water for his tea - so he went to the canteen before anyone else and filled a huge insulated jug from the boiler.
He did not spend 1 penny (or 1 cent) in the entire time he was there.
But one year he bragged that he had been given a disposable barbecue and had brought some frozen burgers to cook on it.
Only problem was, the Paris air show is at an air base and the fire crews spotted the smoke.
A tender came at full speed and covered him, his barbecue and all his supplies with thousands of gallons of foam......
Like it.
