Good old fashioned Bartering - surely the original OS currency?

Just wondered if anyone else does this? My DH gives music lessons to our dentists' children in exchange for our dental treatment. Today we had our boiler serviced by another father - his daughter will now get so many free lessons until the number reaches the agreed fee. Guess this is really OS living!

I believe that in some areas, groups of people use a *token* as a form of money/bartering. Useful if you don't need the boiler doing every few months, you could then use the token given by the boiler man to buy a service you do require.
I think it's a great idea.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no: 203.0
