I saw something similar when I worked for the local council some years ago!

In this case a new tenant was moving into a recently vacated house.

To explain:

The previous tenant was very house proud and had spent a lot of time and money renovating the inside ( but not the outside).

It had a suspended ceiling and tiled and mirrored walls in the bathroom.

Secret lighting and an all round speaker system fitted in the master bedroom.

A fully fitted kitchen with all mod cons and solid timber units ( not that cheap muck the council usually supplies)

The lounge had a beautiful stone fireplace.

In other words it was a 'palace' unlike some of the council house we had to go in and repair which were no more than tips.

Guess what our instructions were?:

Pull the lot out and replace it with standard council quality fittings.


The logic was:

If we give this quality to one tenant every tenant would want the same!

Conclusion!

What price bureaucracy!
