..........oh; where did that link come from? :P


gucom Law firms are incredibly incestuous! If you knew what had gone on in them (and for which there's video evidence because the people concerned forgot that security monitor the various cameras in the office!) you wouldn't sit on any of the sofas in the waiting room of the Magic Circle firm that I work at.

As if we need more exposure of 'our' devious antics lol, someone wrote a book about it:

Fish Sunday Thinking: Amazon.co.uk: Alex Gilmore: Books

The firm in question was Hammonds.
