Ten things you can buy with about £220

  

1. A Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Titanium Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Watch
2. A 32K iPod Touch
3. A Dewalt DC925KA XRP Combi Drill
4. A TomTom GO 950 LIVE Satellite Navigation System
5. A pair of Oakley Juliet Sunglasses with Carbon Frame and Polarised Black Iridium Lens
6. A decent exercise bike
7. One bottle of Chateau Leoville Lascases 1955 2eme Grand Cru Classe St Julien
8. 25 Le Hoyo du Dauphin SLB cigars
9. A rather tasty Ibanez SA120EX Electric Guitar

OK that’s nine. What else might you want to spend your 220 quid on?

How about the total average provision for learning and development per UK employee in 2009?

Not much, is it? And if you’re unlucky enough to work in the public sector, that amount decreases to £127 per head.

That’s about the same as a lousy bottle of Chateau Leoville - Barton 1964 2eme Grand Cru Classe St Julien.

Cheers!
