    Anyone see this last night on the Beeb

    Stupid lawyer couldnt work out the price of fish , nothing new there then.

    Think the biggest deterant to crime in this country is the half witted lawyers who fight your cause in the courts.

    Have only been to court once to fight a case with a phsyco neighbour , and at one point my Lawyer got out a calander to work out the number of days between the 1st and 31st may counting each square that represented one day.

      even funnier was how they were forced into accepting a very low price from the firm of solicitors... the guy they were haggling with seemed to know that they were in a very tight position and had no one else to go to... must have seen them coming a mile off

          I used to work for one of the top 5 law firms in the city and yep common sense was missing in most of the new recruits.

            Thats not correct SASGURU , using the word , people, twice in a sentence is poor grammar

            You should have said

            Why do people who can't master their own language call others half-witted?

            Also GURU is not technically an english word either

                It's correct grammar, but poor style.
                Do you think bungalow, thug and khaki are English words?
