Quote: GCM1980 "Well done you. Not sure why you think that interests me but well done all the same.
The cost savings are different, the principles are the same (although you'll have 1 or 2 holidays a year, I'll wager you have a few hundred beers a year). Why it's so important to you what somebody else spends on their holiday is beyond me. I saved a few hundred quid on a trip to Australia a few years back to watch the rugby, but I don't begrudge anyone who spends a few grand to go on an organised package tour to the World Cup and such like.'"
I've been saying that for days now but I'm afraid it's falling on deaf ears. Thanks for the support anyway!
If EotB is so adamant that I have to find the cheapest possible price for my holiday, then I'm sure exactly the same principles must be applied to ever other aspect of his life. He NEVER drinks any lager other than the stumpies from Netto, cos they're the cheapest you see. So when there's a cheaper option available, how much you like Carlsberg really doesn't come into it. It could be your most favouritest, yummiest, loveliest, drink in the whole wide world... but EotB lives his life by "Enjoyment/Personal Preference/Convenience/Time Saving is all irrelevant... if a cheaper option is even remotely possible you MUST do that".
You should see the way he longingly looks at other people's steaks in restaurants while he sits there with his chickenless pasta salad and free bread roll. Actually... he must never have been in a restaurant, because you see it's cheaper to go to Lidl and eat own-brand Spam from the tin. He loves the cheapest possibly option you see. That's his law. Still... if that's how he wants to live his life that's fine by me! Who am I to judge?? At least he's not a hypocrite.
