Funny how money is not to be wasted on buying unnecessary stuff like chairs/new computers/bit of painting etc, yet you you find senior managers/directors with all the gadgets, getting first class travel and also driving gas guzzling premium Mercedes/BMW/Porsche models on their opt-out allowances for company cars (to avoid full co.car tax liability too) and on the company fuel card.
They should all be driving a Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI's, and practising what they preach on cost-cutting.

Directors got a Vauxhall Calibra/Carlton
