An exercise in frugality

In the trim

Sir, – Your correspondent Conor Pope regularly offers readers useful money-saving tips. Since statistics show that 80 per cent of people who pay to join a gym in January cease attending it in February, I suggest he adds this to his list. And while we might be carrying excess cuddliness when there’s a stretch in the evenings, we will also be carrying fatter wallets. – Yours, etc,
