Why not try and claim toilet paper used at home so you don’t need to waste your employer’s work supply!!!!! Then see if they buy (or rather ‘pay’) that one . Daft is all I can say about the ridiculous claims mentioned in this article.

There was a time we were getting unsolicited calls (many years ago). If we couldn’t see the caller’s name on our landline, we started answering with “City Morgue, how can I help you?” Or “City Morgue, would you like to book a freezer drawer?” That put paid to that!! Now we just don’t answer if...
