That is not the worst part, however. A few months before our home was closed for being uneconomical the county council found it had a lot of money left in their account. As a result they bought new furniture, a new computer (a #BBCModelB+ that was never used) and even a snooker table. There was other stuff to but the above is what I can recall, and it was just so their budget would not be cut for the next year.
