Would you claim 70p expenses?

The expenses row. It’s always there to give us a cheap laugh at the ridiculous things that these high earning people don’t want to part with their cash for. The latest one is a guy called Mark Thompson who is the Director General of the BBC. He’s on a mind blowing £834,000 a year and he went through all the rigmarole and paperwork for a measly 70p (0.00008% of his yearly wage maths fans!). Seriously, get a grip!
I once saw this kid showing off to his friend by tossing a £2 coin into the air and catching it over and over. Then by a sudden twist of fate he dropped it onto the floor where it rolled down a drain. It was hilarious for me and the kid saw the funny side of it. I’m going to assume that the kid wasn’t on £834,000 and he was ok(-ish) about losing nearly 3 times the amount Mark Thompson once claimed for.
I was under the impression that people with high paid jobs were paid so much so they could afford shit like travel etc. I guess that isn’t the case! Why the Hell are they getting paid a stupid amount?
