For those who can't remember me, I'm Fysh Rutherford. Three time winner of the Caxton Talent quest.
It is indeed a privilege to be here today amongst so many old friends and advertising legends
Kinky Friedman the Texas Jewish cowboy in his book Heros and Legends, defines a legend NOT by what they achieved but by what they have OVERCOME to achieve it.
When I look at what we have overcome ... the booze, the drugs, The Caxtons, the production company Christmas parties, the inappropriate behaviour, the sex, the divorces, the 60's, 70's, and 80's, (decades that is, not ages) and the endless lunches.... we are all true legends!
So welcome to lunch... the inaugural Campaign Brief All-Time Dream Team Legendary Lunch. Commonly called the ATDTLL
