What's your name?
Stewart Rue

What's your fun on a shoestring idea?
Phone someone with a home made phone

Tell us about it:
You can get your buddy across the road with one empty soup can, any can will be ok. You need two cans, one length of string. Connect the two and the fun is you can talk all night.

What do you enjoy the most?
You and your buddy can talk all night for nowt and that's having fun literally on a shoestring [Very clever, Stewart... - Ed.]

Who would enjoy it?
Everyone

How much does it cost?
Under £5

Is it good value for money?
Yes, because you get to eat the contents of the tins.

Is there any special equipment you need to do this?
Two empty cans and some string - and you must have a talkative buddy too.

Where and when can you do it?
At home and any time of the day or night.

Got a favourite activity or pastime that costs less than a tenner? Tell us about it!
