Yup. I was there for 3 weeks, if I remember correctly. I got my usual Malaysian salary and an extra £6 a day meal allowance – it was a “use it or lose it” thing. Naturally, they wanted receipts.

Oh, now I remember, they even asked me to pay for my accommodation out of pocket first and they’d reimburse me later. You’ve been in London long enough to know how much this all cost me. I wasn’t impressed.
