No one is suggesting the adorably cute wooly thingamajigs did cost two and a half grand.

That was the fee the lucky knitter got.

We know the costs, and are thus able to assess their worth to us, the tax payer.

We look forward to being told the funding costs awarded to produce the Victorian Swiimming Gala, and being able to decide for ourselves the same conundrum, as to cost versus value, as this thread asked us to do.
