Yes Francis, because thats how accountancy works isn't it, "We shouldn't include the cost of these lathes and this factory because we'd have to pay for them even if we weren't producing all of these parts" - I look forward to all of the Premier League football clubs using the same theory when they refuse to pay their huge policing bills...
Marginal costing!! not an unreasonable way of understanding the cost.
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

Given we have so few police on the streets would this event be anymore of a deterent than normal? Perhaps the canteens in police HQ's might suffer?

OTOH the extra pay the police and security forces receive will be spent and thus help stimulate the economy, and it must also be good for business for shops along the route, hotels, undertakers, (well, one!) etc.
It's an ill wind . . .

I thought the funeral was beautiful. And it was great that with the exception of a pratt who threw something at the horses and a couple of boos, the crowd was very supportive so we looked dignified to the rest of the world. Thankfully the idiots were all mouth and no action.
