The Gazette team received a very generous-spirited e-mail this week from west midlands firm Talbots. 'Please find enclosed the following attachment for our latest press release,' it ran. 'This will increase the readership of your publication as readers will be attracted to the contents.' Here at Obiter headquarters, we are always happy to be given fresh ideas for boosting our market-leading 106,000-strong circulation. The news that Talbots has a new associate in its family law team will undoubtedly keep us on an upward curve. We're sure readers will agree, therefore, that the firm's request to 'please bear in mind that we will take a very favourable view with advertising with your publication if this article is published' was a tad unnecessary.
