It has been reported in the press that the female Chief constable for
North Yorkshire required an en suite shower to be installed in her
office at a quite remarkable cost.

Plumbing 15,000
Electrics 4,000
Flooring 900
Ceilings 900
Painting 900
Furniture 1,200
Building work 5,500

Total 28,400

Makes the average BG quote for central heating seem absolutely modest.

The mind boggles, particularly at the first two and last items. What on
earth did she get for the money, and what on earth are the council tax
payers of North Yorkshire getting for theirs?


The report I read said that it was a replacement of an existing
facility, and the estimate for the price was 20% of the final cost.
"She was horrified at the cost of the personal shower. She could not
believe how they had spiralled".
