We used wait in the launderette for people to put a wash on and usually they would just leave it, go shopping or something and come back. As soon as they were gone we'd stick our stuff in aswell and hope the cycle finished before they came back. Ah! Happy days!
We used to save the used teabags to mix with tobacco when �rolling our own�. Anyway, on to my cheapskate story - I was stuck in on my own one night because I couldn�t afford to go out so I went to our local shop and asked what was the most booze I could get for �1.50 which was all I had. He gave me a 3 litre bottle of lager for a quid � sorted! I got home, poured a glass and it tasted foul. Looking closer at the label I found it was 3 years out of date. I took it back to the shop and asked if he had one in date but he hadn�t, so he offered me another 2 of the out of date bottles for free. I accepted, and even paid 30p for a bottle of lemonade to cheer it up! I was such a sad get as a student. I had the thrupenny bits for a week.
