Blackbeard Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Just how out of touch are the government? "George Osborne has been forced to pay for an upgrade after sitting in a first class train carriage with a standard class ticket. An aide to Mr Osborne initially refused to pay the £160 supplement and said the chancellor did not want to move into standard class, Virgin Trains said." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20008342 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Nowt wrong with him being in a first class carriage as long as he pays for it....maybe he had important documents to read and he didn't want the plebs looking over his shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Tamudo Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Thing is, he'll take the reciept for the £160 and shove it through his expenses. I don't think it covers first class but it'll not hurt his pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
