This is a very small amount of cash and it is a sad silly season story.
A buffet was introduced back in my time at DDC and quite rightly too. JHG and others spend a lot of time at meetings, often long periods of boredom, interspaced with 'interesting' bits (like a war really!) It is not too much to expect some refreshment to be provided and besides, it definately helps the decision making process not to have rumbling tummies on the go.....
