    I guess that's public sector...

    Any suggestions?

    Extra points if 'can be' wholly and exclusively for business!

    How about a business trip to Goa or the Maldives. If your Accountant asks, just say you were meeting some potential client for a lucrative deal to provide your services to them.

    Yep, WNS. I'd miss the "shed load of games" too.

    I impulse bought a Breitling watch last week, which cost a bit more than a grand. In the good old days I could have put this through the business, as it's a reliable time source that could be used to synchronise Netware servers - a must in the days before NTP availability. I know a guy who put his £2000 TAG through the business and passed an inspection for that reason.

    You could put me down as DSE H&S auditor

    Your development machine probably needs a new 50" screen plus audio enhancements.

    New Company bike and I'm not talking about Co Sec.


    A small customer event maybe you and a few suitable customers that like a shandy at a Golf course.

    Stress relief course with Mrs Woo's ladies?

    I don't have fire in my belly for music, I'm afraid.
