I bet she had a little dance herself, when she realised she was the chosen one, and the recipient of a thousand pounds for teaching Accy's flash mob a few dainty steps.

Sorry, your maths are a bit off - she's taught over 200 people the four different dances divided into six groups having six x hour-long sessions each group i.e. 36 hours plus the time it took to devise the dance. That should have cost at least £7,200.

Flash mobs that have happened spontaneously might well cost nothing but this one has been commissioned and I think you'll be hard pushed to find very many these days that are completely random. There is a company in Manchester that specialises in this sort of thing and you wouldn't get change out of £10k.

Plus, again Cassandra is a local person, shopping in local shops and working with local people.
