SIR - In response to the interesting double spread about Busby's (T&A, November 29) I was an employee in the composing room at the T&A for ten years in the fifties.

Busby's were regular advertisers and at Christmas they invited a limited number of advertising and composing room staff to a Christmas lunch.

All the directors of Busby's attended and helped to make an enjoyable occasion, it was certainly a nice gesture of appreciation.
