£25 per yard - oink little piggie, oink!

The Mail has discovered that:

'Eugene Sullivan, the £180,000-a-year chief executive of the Audit Commission – motto: ‘protecting the public purse’ – charges taxpayers £18,000 a year for his stays at the luxury Westminster hotel, plus more than £5,000 a year in train fares, taxis and car mileage.

On top of that he receives the ‘travel’ allowance, even though the hotel is 164 yards from his office

On Thursday morning last week, he followed his usual comfortable routine at the hotel.

At 7am, he came down from his room wheeling two bags behind him, approached the concierge, informed him that he had left two suit carriers in his room and bid him a cheery ‘see you next week’.

He then embarked on the 60-second journey to his office in the adjoining Millbank Tower. By pocketing the allowance, he is effectively claiming £25 per yard per year.'

This sort of thing makes me so angry but the pampered Civil Service fat cats just go on supping the cream.

I seem to have moved from piggies to cats during the course of this piece, oh well!
