    Not quite £50,000, not in one day and not for 9 members of staff.

    Other than that you’re spot on though.

    I think you've misread the report. It was food bought on 9 occasions and it doesn't mention the amount of people who were in receipt of the food.

    It does work out at about 5k a pop though and it looks like a meal for 2 is 45 quid so, that equated to him feeding 200 people, which doesn't seem to add up.

    Ah, correct. It WAS on 9 different occasions. And no, £47,000 isn't quite 50,000 either. My fault for not reading it after being told. Mind you, nothing's too far fetched with these wasters.

    To be fair £47,000 is close enough to call it £50k but I thought calling you out on all 3 things was funnier

    Whenever I go away for work I have to use an official subsidised work canteen or take my own food. The only time I can claim, which is up to £25.00 per day, is when I am travelling over a period where I would normally be expected to eat in a canteen, and this is usually only for lunch, as I would be expected to have breakfast at home. What I find amazing is that the dept of health HQ is very close to Wellington Barracks, so surely they could have had their meals there? One rule for one.......

    I wonder what nurses think of his ‘working hard to battle this virus - the least I can do is provide food’ line.
