Pensioners' lunch

The Digger and others speak very eloquently for those of us who have been denied the chance to meet up every two years at the pensioners' lunch to renew acquaintances with former colleagues, who, though not necessarily close friends, shared a common goal in maintaining Reuters' high standards in the business of news.
