Three chancing liggers were denied access by European Commission security guards on Friday to a cocktail reception in the Berlaymont building to celebrate Reuters’ photojournalism or somesuch.
The freeloaders were turned away at the metal detectors as the exclusive drinkies were by invitation only.
So how then to get in? How to get their hands on these treasured glossy passports to free bubbly and rub shoulders with the high and mighty?
A pile of spare invitations it seems was helpfully left at the commission’s reception desk …
Cheers Reuters!
