I probably receive one of these leaflets a week and usually I briefly look at the leaflet and throw it away. The only reason for me to actually read the leaflet that I received was because I had been told that I needed some training so I should attend the training course that this particular leaflet was advertising.<br /><br />I was somewhat amused by the leaflet's description of the individual who was going to be speaking at the training seminar. I have set out below the exact text from the leaflet on the speaker (apart from his identity and the name of the firm he works for):<br /><blockquote>Mr. Solicitor is a solicitor at Solicitor &amp; Partners and a regular lecturer for the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)">LCCSA</span>. The 2004 Chambers Guide to the Legal Profession described him having a "pedigree which stands out by itself". The 2005 edition as "<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">tremendously</span> bright", the 2006 edition as a "business crime legend" and the 2007 edition as having made a "massive academic contribution due to his involvement on the lecture circuit". <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Colleagues</span> have described him as a 'complete wanker'.<br /></blockquote><br />I am pretty sure that the last sentence was not supposed to be published and circulated to every member of the London Criminal Courts Solicitors Association!Gavinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08500048413933214232noreply@blogger.com
