James Bond: A Practical Question.

This James Bond fellow. He's a civil servant, a regular employee , on the payroll.

My question is: when does he do his expenses, claim petty cash and claim his allowances.

How on earth can he be expected to keep receipts when he's all over the place, booking hotels on a whim, car rentals, new suits, food, refreshments, flights, toothpaste and other incidental expenses?

This is just my ''coming to the end of half term'' musings and ponderings.

He can either organise his travels through the department, otherwise if he is organising his own he would need to keep the receipts (if he is booking the travel online then the emails would be sufficient)

Good news for mr bond is that he also gets a “food allowance “ but it doesn’t include alcoholic beverages.. so he will have to pay for his own martinis

First he is a naval Commander not a civil servant.

Second expenses are a little more liberal in his kind of work, alot of it is cash.

In the modern world credit cards are easy to track.

Standard meal allowance would not cover where he eats, and his Hotels would be above the nightly allowance, if he was a civil servant.

That is what the records say, but he defected and was replaced with a new 006.

In the new films he won't have to worry about picking any minor things up. There will be a brief scene of M explaining to him that MI6 have gotten him an Amazon Prime membership for all his needs.

Why don't the bad guys just shoot him when they can?

I mean they get multiple chances. But instead when they capture him, they like to wine and dine him...and then hook him up to some elaborate machine (to give him a snail paced demise)...which he's bound to escape from..

That comes under "gifts and hospitality" in my company, and it has to be declared with your line manager. I think the limit it £30. That wouldn't even cover the Beluga Caviar.

No British government department would ever cover his lifestyle. Remember he wipes the floor with rich megalomaniacs at baccarat and wins many dinari. He probably can’t be arsed with claiming his £28.66pn meal allowance and making sure he only fills up the Aston at a garage that takes All Star cards.

Rather strangely he never goes to the toilet either (unless it is to kill someone)

"Moneypenny, send in Commander Bond". "Yes Sir, as soon as he's off the toilet".

"You expect me to talk Goldfinger?". "No Mr Bond, I expect you to have a healthy bowel movement at least once in every 24 hours".

Some things, like claiming expensed, just don't make for great cinema lol....

He’s funded by a subsidiary of Universal Exports, with monies from the laundered proceeds of a fronting business that deals in pickled whelks, based in Margate.
