Paul Waugh: 12 years ahead of the rest of the media pack
Paul Waugh*, writing in July 2000**: OMG! High cost of fig trees for Portcullis House!
Rest of press pack, writing in February 2012: OMG! High cost*** of fig trees for Portcullis House!****
* An old journalist interjects: I wrote about it back then too!
** A young journalist objects: oi! some of us were still in school back then.
*** A defensive Parliamentary accountant writes: have you noticed that the annual cost of the fig trees has not gone up in 12 years?
**** A Liberal Democrat press officer adds: hey, but have you noticed how each time it was a Liberal Democrat MP who got the story into the media?
