    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

    I sometimes repair things instead of throwing them away now and sometimes consider the possibility of ditching the car, gym membership, etc (a bicycle would serve both purposes) but not quite at the point where I'm ready to start embarking on plan C - becoming a hobo.

      What about stealing sugar, salt and pepper sachets from McDs, Weatherspoons etc? One up from rummaging in bins I suppose

        I'm going through a shedload of Wetherspoon'd vouchers that the postie shoved though my door.

        I'll be ok for dried burgers and P1ssy lager till February...

          I do this too. It turns out it's not too hard to put new petrol in your car.

              I must admit to repairing clothing recently.

              Not by myself obviously, but I did have some new leather soles put on one pair of shoes last week.

                  I once saw a woman nicking rolls from a public loo in the USA.

                    The question is what were you doing in the ladies in the first place?
