Taxpayers in Bristol have been footing the bill for council staff to stay in expensive hotels, eat at posh restaurants and buy designer clothes.
Almost £680,000 was spent on on fast food, cinema trips, iTunes downloads and orders from online retailer Amazon.
Figures obtained under Freedom of Information rules show that in 2014, an average of £1,860 a day was spent on council procurement cards, which are used by council workers to pay for expenses like travel, office supplies and catering.
