Cheeky expenses

[Spacecadet]

When I was a permie, working at customer site and staying in hotels, we used to put vast quantities of booze through on expenses as "pudding".

When i worked as a permie we didn't even bother hiding the booze, just hand in the entire receipt:

Beer €5
Burger €10
Beer €5
Beer €5
Beer €5
Beer €5
Beer €5
Beer €5
Whisky €7
Whisky €7
Whisky €7

I was never once pulled up on expenses, even managed to get a case of duty free beers on the expense account once

Probably explains why they went bust

At one place, a new boy was summoned to the IT Directors office.

- What's this beer here?
- It was just the one, with my meal - I thought that'd be ok.
- Certainly not - we expect a much larger bar bill than that. You make the rest of us look bad. Don't do it again.

(sigh) now I see why HMRC doesn't like some of you people.

Answer: none, I am not a thief.

On the other hand, you are self-righteous. Well done!

Why not as a phone expense......

Why not as a phone expense......

Maybe HMRC would recognize that it's great as a gadget and carp as a phone and disallow it??

Works fine as a phone, people can use it to talk to me and I can use it to talk to them. What more do you need???

I'm putting through my recent trip to New York as I was there to spec out the place with a view to taking a long term contract at Bristol Myers Squibb - helps that I can get somebody to vouch for me there. Unfortunately I didn't like it so I won't be taking the contract.
