Midge repellent is possibly less effective than a midge suit, certainly I've found it so as it's easy to miss a spot but the damn midges find it. The suits are not pretty - and hot - but more effective. Still - why is the tax payer covering those costs? My employer would not have paid for midge repellant for me, even if in an area where it was needed. They certainly would not have paid for yoga classes.
A coffee machine I can understand, I might even get fast track at airports - they certainly needed the books on how to run a government.
