Dear chancer of a Counsel's Clerk

If you are going to send me a cheeky email trying to get an £800 uplift om fees do not be surprised that I send you an indignant, "you'll have grand and like it sonny!" reply.

And If you are going to follow that up with a haughty "well this necessitated us actually doing something other than trying to convince you that you should settle the file" type email then maybe your offer to meet in the middle should be the same as the fee we agreed 3 weeks ago rather than £200 below it.

I'd have never got away with that with Chambers in Manc or even the accursed Smog.

Schmuck!
