First class coordinator de-classed

The co-ordinator as he calls himself was in for a rude shock.

He wanted a first class ticket to travel for what was claimed to be an official engagement.

The bureaucratic boss, a powerful one at that, turned the request down. He declared that people holding such positions were not entitled to first class travel.

If he was desperate, the man was advised, to make a request to the political boss. Knowing that it would be turned down, the man thought he would not push his luck too far!
