    Well, the next time you are out for a meal with someone, just don't do what the guy on the programme did. He walked over to complete strangers sitting at their tables who had just finished their meals and had leftovers on their plates, and asked if he could have their leftovers, he even took a little plastic container to put them in, his wife was so embarrassed.

    He didn't half get some funny looks.

    One idea not to share with the husband: the guy went dumpster diving for some of his long suffering wife's wedding anniversary presents. :(

    Just saw an advert for this, it's an American show, one lady wees in a jar to save water from flushing :T

    Looks like an interesting show, sure some OS regulars could give them some tips though ;)



    Regular readers of Bill Bryson books will be familiar with the concept of the 'toity jar' :D
