Multi-Tasking


The Gazette is so droll nowadays that it is difficult to tell what is parody and what is not.

For example, in your feature on client account (see [2007] Gazette, 22 March, 22), you wrote: 'According to [Solicitors Regulation Authority] spokesman Geoffrey Negus, the typical scenario is as follows: "It's the sole practitioner running the firm and having a fairly hard time. Let's say, for argument's sake, he has a mistress, perhaps he has drug problems or is an alcoholic..."'



It is charitable of him to put these in the disjunctive rather than conjunctive, but I can assure him some of us can manage all four at once.
