Unusual farewell
PA Wellington The man who will head New Zealand’s Security Intelligence Service has been duped by his former workmates. John Lindsay Smith probably thought he would be able to slip quietly out the back door on his last day as BP New Zealand, Ltd’s adviser on Government affairs. However, his workmates had other plans and they called in a singing tele-
gram. At the appointed time, Mr Smith was ushered up from the floor below and the singing telegram women sprang on him with a musical farewell from his colleagues and a Scrooge McDuck hat. His colleagues had clubbed together to buy him something useful to take to his new job. What could be more appropriate than a spy disguise?
