The time the one-day course began was ______ .
The TOTAL expenses were ______ .
(C—Cashier, D—David )
C : Ah, David Jones, I’d like a word with you. Come into my office for a moment ,will you ?
D : Yes,of course, Ms.Cook.
C : It’s about this course we sent you on at Westhampton---Word Processors---video---that sort of thing, wasn’t it ?
D : Computer programming ,actually. It was really interesting. I felt I got a lot out of it and, of course, with everything going over to computers now , you’ve got to know something about them, haven’t you—especially if you’re a junior accountants clerk like me.
C : Yes,of course, you work in Accounts . I ’m glad to hear you thought the course was worthwile. Still ,there is this little matter of your claim for expenses.
D : Oh, I left that on your desk this morning, Ms.Cook. I thought I’d better let you have it right away.
C : Yes, I’ve got it here. Now ,let’s see—it was a one-day course at the institute of Technology on the 10 th May, wasn’t it?
D : Not the Institute, Ms.Cook, the Technical College.
C :The Technical College? Oh,yes,of course, what I don’t understand is why you found it necessary to stay two nights in Westhampton to attend a one-day course. I understand it began at ten and ended at five. Surely you could have taken a cheap day return?
D : Well, you see, Ms.Cook, the first train from London to Westhampton wouldn’t have got me down in time to be at the college by ten . The fare was the same—18.50 pounds—they don’t have cheap day returns mid-week.
C : Mmm- well, but I see you stayed in Westhampton on the tenth too. Why was that?
D : Oh, I can explain that. Ms Cook, the course went on a bit longer than we expected, at least not exactly the course but the discussion afterwords, and then they said anyone who liked could stay on and do somework at the computers. I thought I ought to do that.
C: I still don’t see why you had to stay the night.
D: Well, what happened was I met someone there who lives near me and he offered to give me a lift home. The awful thing was that his car broke down on the motorway. They had to tow it away. It took ages. In the end we had to walk back about two miles to a village outside Westhampton. Any way there was a little hotel there—“the Crown.”. It was terribly late and we were starving, so we decided to stay the night there. There wasn’t too much we could do really. 15 pounds bed and breakfast and 4.50 pounds for dinner. It seemed pretty reasonable.
C: 15 pounds bed and breakfast and 4.50 pounds the meal — I think that ‘s not too bad at today’s price. But I’d like to know why you had to stay at the Park on the 9th. 36 pounds bed and breakfast sounds a bit on the expensive side to me.
D: Oh, I wouldn’ t have stayed there if I could find a room anywhere else, but practically every where was booked up. There was a trade fair on or something and most hotels were full of people from overseas and that. I was lucky to get in at the Park.
C: I see you paid 12 pounds for the dinner there. I hope it was a good one.
D: Oh ,yes .Ms Cook, The food’s very good there.
C: I am sure it is. Now your total expenses come to 88.50 pounds—that sounds rather astronominal to me for a one-day course.
D: 88.50 pounds? Oh, of course that includes 2.50 pounds for lunch at the Tech.
C: I am sorry,David, but I don’t think the Chief Accountant will pass this claim as it stands. I’ll do what I can, but I am not too hopeful.
D: Oh…er… thanks very much, Ms Cook.
