BOFH: Die, Robot

£17K? Bah! A mere trinket.

Oops! Simon messed up!

If he thinks that wasting 17K to protect some tea bags is bad he should have a look at some of our esteemed public services. (*cough* Home Office *cough*)

No, really!

I sort of have a sneaking sympathy...

Sorry, but I feel better now.

Reminds me of an old saying...

Or something like that.

Still, with their track record...
