Trains and planes

The Guardian has done a good job analysing the latest BBC senior management expenses.

I can only add a pointer to Charlotte (Thompson) Lock, Director of Media Engagement and Marketing and Audiences, BBC North, who booked four fares between London and Wilmslow at £313 each. On her Linkedin profile she claims to be a strategic communications planner - if only she could apply those skills to booking trains.

And BBC man of digits-and-mystery, Ralph Rivera, of no fixed division, claimed £4,500 in 'other expenditure' redacted under section 40 of the Freedom of Information Act, which allows protection for personal data.
