  Thanks Howard I am glad you put this on the Forum,as when I read it I was a little bit angry,and at a cost of upseting Kathy and all at the DE I will tell you why.
  
  Quite often I finish work at 15.40 at the station and sometimes it is later before I get away,I then shoot home have a cuppa get rid of one set of work clothes and get ready for a Council meeting,now I either get the bus up or if I am lucky get a lift.I don't always have time to eat which as most of the Counil meetings have gone on past 10pm means it would be 12 hrs since I last eat.The longest meeting I sat on started at 6pm and ended at 11.20pm!
  
  We also have several Councillors who are diabetic and need to eat at regular intervals,the food is as it says are normally Sandwiches SausageRolls etc so not too expensive and now the real thing that gets my goat!
  
  I have seen the reporters from the DE turnup(occasionally) and they are straight in to the buffet including Rhys,they don't seem to have a problem then stuffing thier faces and then they leave half way through a meeting very rarely see a reporter there after 8pm in fact we rarely see a reporter.So I think they have a cheek £5000 is a lot of money divided 45 Cllrs and some cllrs have 10 15 20 meetings in a year and then of course if we didnt get fed we could claim an allowance for food which would be a lot more than the £5000 over a year.
