I seem to recall that a 216 sqn co pilot
got Court Martialled (unsucessfully and at great expense) a few years back for getting the hotel in NBO to change a phone call to a breakfast. He did it, not for personal gain, but because he knew it was the most expeditious way of getting his imprest to balance and his crew out of the hotel and on their way.
The phonecall wasn't even his, but the Captain's (a Sqn exec); who subsequently put up a plausible argument it was a service related call in any event.
Makes all of the MP's antics all the more unpalatable. Seems to be that those that set rules, feel no obligation to abide by them.
Seemed to recall he was knobbled by a London Borough Councillor standing in the hotel queue and having heard all the "negotiations" felt duty bound to act

I'm Gutted, just had a letter back from my MP stating that he doubts that I can claim my, MOD provided accommodation, circa WWII Hut as my second residence! Irrespective that I have to live in it to do my job! I'm sure Guy Gibson has used it in the past!
Its so unfair. I might write to my MEP as they seem to have a knack of making outrageous claims.
An easy solution would be to put all of the MP's on a JPA equivalent system. I would give them a total of 5 minutes before they rejected it!

expenses
I know a bit about expenses having worked as a private contracter for a few years and know how to hoodwink head office if need be!!However,MPs hand in thier claims to a FEES office.The people who work in thier must be taxpayers so why didnt any off them get annoyed at what was obviously going on?Perhaps a look at thier bank A/C s may reveal a bigger scandal!!!

What five letter word begins with F and ends with D?
Er field, filed, flood, fried, freed, etc etc ad nauseum (limited vocabulary)
It was too much of a temptation really!
