Even young solicitors get the blues.

The latest Young Solicitors Group magazine contains an e-mail questionnaire quizzing its new executive on their tastes and childhood aspirations.

Bizarrely chairman Adrian Barham, vice chairwoman Hannah Wiskin, honorary secretary Helen Morris, conference and events director Ben Rigby and Web site editor Chris Othen all list their favourite colour as blue.

Some of them even said their favourite music is blues tunes.

The answers also reveal some interesting insights into the private thoughts of the profession's future.

Mr Rigby's childhood ambition was to 'travel through time and space', hinting at some affinity with Dr Who and Captain Kirk, while Mr Barham had the more modest dream of seeing the world and finding out 'stuff'.
