Hoon caught out

This from the BBC...

Transport Secretary Geoff Hoon has become the second cabinet minister in 24 hours to repay money he claimed on his designated second home.

Mr Hoon claimed bills in advance for a full year on his Derbyshire property - but in the same year he claimed a different house was his second home. It was an "inadvertent administrative error", he said, and apologised.

That's all right then.

Railway Eye readers are invited to diddle their employer for a similar amount (£668) and then use the same lame excuse (plus apology).

I'm sure they'll understand and invite you to remain in post.
