The guy from money saving experts.

trembling with barely-concealed rage

LOL, he has spent the last 2 years telling anyone who will listen that you will get these charges back, only for the establishment to look after its own quelle suprise. I imagine he feels a proper charlie right now.....

That said, he is mustard on a lot of areas where people are just too lazy to save themselves a few bob. I do tend to listen.

he does offer some good advice and his monthly newsletter will save you money

Martin Lewis also advised switching your bank account to the Icelandic banks to benefit from their unfeasably high interest rates, quick back pedalling job done there as well when they went down the tubes.

i like him, he has passion

^ hitler had passion as well.

yup, but its not a quite a fair comparison is it

no but was still a platitude andy :)

www.wiktionary.org

i agree tev(i think) :)

I would rather go for a drink with Hitler personally. Expect Lewis would be a right cheapskate at the bar probably finding some loophole for a free 1/2 pint.

:^0 5x5

I wonder how much he's made from peddling shíte down the years.

And I wonder if his disciples still think laying everyone in the FGS market is a good idea :^0

I've used his site for years especially the forums but some of the advice I've already thought of and it's annoying when Joe Public knows my tricks.

For example "stoozing", I was doing it for at least 5 years before they thought of a name for it. Made me thousands 'til sites like his told everyone how to do it.

What a day! You had to be there......

Is my memory playing tricks or was that the weekend that you could post photos on here?

Not sure but it was entertaining watching them claim one minute how much 'free money' they had made then the panic/fear set in... shame betfair let them off :(

I remember that day, what a rout. Some of them were in for thousands, it was an internet classic. Sit back and soak up the terror.

I can imagine him being out with his girlfriend who puts him on a promise but suggests getting some durex from the pub's loos.
He'd seeth. ..
"Don't ever use vending machines!You'll pay up to 40% more! Superdrug are doing a buy one packet get one free offer, and if you pay with an Alliance and Leicester switch card you'll get air miles on top."

lol, reckon he probably uses the withdrawal method.

Don't know if it's true, but there was a standing joke that his followers got into the habit of not turning the toilet light on.

** in the darkers'.

Very good HRH!

Quality!

Saw Martin Lewis walking out of Westfields shopping Centre last Friday, Looked like he had just had a right spend up !

Madeley was right behind him

"Quick Judy, start the car"

Martin Lewis' money saving tips are great:

Don't waste money on a hat, just go out in a field on a hot sunny day and pick up a nice big crusty cow pat.

Why spend money on food when you can cut your stomach out with a knife?

Don't spend £100 per time on prostitutes, give your local tramp a fiver to tug you off whilst you shut your eyes and listen to Girls Aloud on your ipod.

Thanks Mart.

I like him as well

Lol @ tramp/girl's aloud.

My favourite viz top tip:

GLUE Rice Krispies to your cars tyres for that expensive gravel driveway sound

Best thread of all time on betfair, overound on a footie match first scorer if memory serves, Money saving experts racked up massive reds when book wass reconciled and non players removed.

speedypro, that was hilarious.

I remember one guy saying "Think i'm gunna have to do a runner"

lmao

It was the arrogance of them. They were saying things like, "This is so easy. How stupid are the people on Betfair?"

:^0

Of course, I was out that afternoon and couldn't fill my boots.

:(

his site only got 17 million back so far....from banks.

Fúck me, SY - you're even slower today than you were during Sunday's footie quiz ;)

As i said nothing against the guy but i have never seen someone so angry. He could not believe it. I'd say he was already to go with how much he saved people. The fact that the govt are involved in the banks now id say a judge was given some sweetner. It would have cost the banks billions id say.
