I retired just over a year ago - no letter - not even dined out..........made me feel really wanted! When I spoke to the Clk at my last Unit about getting my letter (I fancied a laugh!) she told me that I had never been posted to that Unit even though she knew me having passed me practically every day for the previous 2 years as I worked in the same building as her..............clearly another one destined for the higher ranks!!!!!
