A trio of doughty legal wordsmiths can look forward to a bubble this Christmas after solving – or nearly solving – our recent anagram competition. John Seagrave of A Broken Card (aka Barker and Co) in Hull, together with Giles Bennett of Devonshires (sod his nerve!) win special plaudits for identifying all 16 firms hidden in the prose of our resident surreal novelist.

Ben Sharp, an assistant solicitor at Shed Jam Enema (ugh!) in Stratford Upon Avon (that’s Needham & James to the locals) managed 13. The champagne is on its way.
