    Not that I spend a lot of time looking at the recruitment pages - but it's not a phrase I've noticed often in recent years.

    Is Police Scotland more 'honest' or behind the times?

    In order to support the transition towards the new single

    Hopefully the amalgamated Scottish Police Service means we now only need one Director of Somethingoranother on £80k plus company beamer rather than 7.

    The tax payable on a 'status' company car is extortionate. For most it's just not worth it.

    'The tax payable on a 'status' company car is extortionate'

    The big question for the new comms director is what to do re: fuel - he/she wont be taking the 'free' fuel as the tax charge is enormous.

    However, given that the role encompasses Scotland, I imagine a lot of miles will be driven. And the maximum reimbursement allowable by the government (pence per mile) does not cover fuel costs (even in a modern fuel efficient car) these days.

    I predict an expenses fiddling expose in a year or two !!

    My next door neighbour has a company car, actually I don't mind the idea of a company car, some people actually do need a car to fulfil their daily business.

    What does bother me a little is the huge jeep type things that are so inefficient, my next door neighbour has a V6 VW Touareg as a company car, which in my mind is just a waste of £45k. Appearnces can't be that important, surely, you can still 'look the part' (term used loosely), in a reasonablly efficient 3 or 5 series BMW. Although that car never moves at the weekend, they use a small Toyota as the family car.

    "some people actually do need a car to fulfil their daily business"

    Indeed, but then it's just a 'tool of the trade' - bit like a mobile (above!)

    Mentioned with salary it's clearly a 'perk' which may or may not be a financial benefit.

    I suppose this one will come with useful blue lights...
