One shot or two ?

The six-monthly report detailing BBC Trust expenses is out, and whilst, at £32,115.10, they're marginally up from the previous six months, they're down on the same period in 2011/12.

In terms of internal and external entertainment, Trust Director Nicholas "Kaffeine" Kroll tops the list, at £1,223.12. 16 claims are for coffee, totalling £120.71. Sometimes, I suspect, it's a lot of coffee - or there maybe pastries involved - cf £12.71 at the Cinnamon Club, and £16.76 at Villandry. Hardly the Hodge Hair Shirt of Public Service Frugality. Of course, this was a busy time for Lord Patten's fixer - one broken DG to be replaced, so there was every reason for discreet meetings. It can't be just that Nick can't work the office Nespresso machine, can it ?
