Hi everyone,

Not posted here in a little while but just came across an article mentioned on a local government website that I HAD to share! Turns out that some councils across the UK have been spending tax payers money on pretty fancy cars whilst we slum it!

The worst offender was in Cheshire spending over £140k on a Bentley.

I didn't think this sort of thing would be going on after the MP's expenses scandal, am I just being naive... what do you think?

Haha fair point on the fact that Bentley's are manufactured in Cheshire. Supporting their local industry I guess; but still excessive in my opinion at that price!

Or a not so subtle backhander.
Yeah it could blow up to be something big if that was proved to be the case! Don't think anyone's going to put on their Sherlock hat though haha.
