They have learned - they've learned they can pretty much get away with it

[i]Mr Martin spent £724,600 of public money on the flat from 2000 to 2008. [/i]

Relative to the previous tenant, he seems positively frugal though! Could have rebuilt my house several times with that sort of money.

Apartments in listed buildings of national, possibly international, importance should be done up on the cheap? I think not.

So I see. I guess the previous tenant must have stolen the previously installed ones a la vacating student digs. Perhaps he took the light bulbs too...

If it's that important nationally or internationally why is he living there with his kid(s).

Do you think most listed buildings aren't lived in?
