I bet more than 50% of people on here who have claimed expenses have added 'extras'. I certainly have .... and it's my company

Mick not sure what you mean by that. Maybe that you were never put into temptation.
As Keith said many people have over claimed their expenses in all walks of life. Others have stolen from their employers, private phone calls, pencils, pens, envelopes etc. Nevertheless, I bet many of those will be in the front row condemning others.
In this case Taylor was found guilty and has been sentenced.
I personally don't see any justification for making rude comments about him or others, who have been convicted and sentenced.

Hi John,
Yes I think I was trying to say I was on a fixed wage with no extra payment for overtime when we did some, it was time off if you could get it
I remember now though we had a Upper level manager who was in charge of our hospitals stores and anouther in the south of the UK, but did claim expenses for private flights she used to go see her family in the north, we were all pleased when she was rumbled and lost her job

Arthur.
If a person (maybe you) exceed the speed limit lets say, are you really saying that would justify me being very rude to you?
Also, MPs are not elected because of their honesty. Those who have been in prison, or indeed those serving a sentence of less that 12 months can be MPs, whilst of course they should pot be police officers..
