Room service, please.


This week's Sunday Herald provides an answer to that frequently asked question ... "when is a hotel not a hotel?"

"SCOTLAND'S Deputy presiding officer has pocketed up to £30,000 of public money to cover her "hotel" costs despite the fact she did not stay in any. Labour MSP Trish Godman was living in her fraudster son's flat at a rate of around £100 a night ... but claiming hotel expenses from the Scottish parliament. The deal, which was approved by Holyrood bosses, resulted in Godman racking up the highest "hotel" bill of any MSP since 1999."

The answer ... when it is your son's flat ... but you still get to claim the cash anyway. Ridiculous ... and no room service.
