You know how we have a sort of unofficial set of standard measures for things in the news?
Height: double decker buses
Liquid volume: swimming pools
Area: tennis courts / Wales
...That kind of thing.
Does anyone else use 'Scottish Parliament buildings' as a news-related unit of measure for any government spending? Garden Bridge, Rwanda scheme, PPE contracts, Liz Truss' budget, Westminster refurb…
Is it just me who uses that one?
