The analogy of going into Asda with £50 and buying goods of £200 is right. All that's happened is that they've got to the second aisle (realised that they're going to spend too much and decided not to put steak and salmon in the trolley). Seems quite a prudent approach to me.

Well I'll be the first to admit it but, Gayle and myself have not always seen eye to eye, on some things, but I think she this spot on here. The time to make a song and dance about the subject would have been at the end of the financia year if there HAD have been a huge over spend, not now, and I would like to think that the best person to out line this is Joe Mcintyre, the Executive Director for resources, as unlike Cllrs Britcliffe and Jones he has no political points to score
