Fraud is fraud.



Please don't assume everyone sinks to the levels you're referring to.

An item I ordered from Play.com was delivered on one day with the same item being delivered again the following day.

I didn't hesitate to email them and inform them of the second delivery.

If a shop assistant gives me too much change, my automatic response it to tell them. I never even think of doing anything other than this.

Yes of course -- civil servants are no longer going to creatively underspend in order to make a profit. However, if there is no incentive for them to take the bus and claim the standard train fare (pocketing the difference) then they may as well just take the train in any case and enjoy the greater comfort and convenience. The taxpayer is still stumping up the cost of the train fare whether or not the underling is going by train or bus. So no money is saved.

In that case civil servants should just be paid the bus fare!!
If the bus is good enough for taxpayers, why is it not good enough for their servants!!

"If the bus is good enough..."

--- sure. But for most 'taxpayers' (and of course civil servants are tax payers -- but that's an aside), the bus isn't really good enough for long work journeys.

I needed an incentive to undertake the extra 3 hours or so journey time, and the extra discomfort, and the 5 a.m. starts.

But when you are broke, and when you are at that stage in your career when you haven't quite washed away the student mindset, then a couple of hours of free beer is just that incentive you need.

I wouldn't do it now. In my current (private sector) job I could employ a similar dodge by quietly downgrading, but I'm entitled to fly business class, and I always do because it gives me the rare chance to drink bucketloads of Cru Classe claret.

That'll do me.
