Back in March, in response to a Parliamentary Question, the Ministry of Defence said that it had spent £4,702.52 on "maintenance" for the property of the General Officer Commanding Northern Ireland, who I think is Major General Phillip Trousdell unless someone can tell me otherwise.
Now I'm not going to moan about the amount of money spent, just under five grand isn't a lot in a year for generally maintaining a property. However, the MoD has now kindly provided a break down of the work that was included under the general title of maintenance and I couldn't help but giggle.
As you'd expect there's the usual stuff in the list, clearing guttering and downpipes to repairing leaks to buying a new dishwasher (an essential item in my opinion). Then, as you look down the list, there's £100 to treat "flea infestation"? I do hope it was his pet's fault!
