I recently advised in a case where the bill contained items more or less as follows:

Junior said "Good morning senior, any more thoughts on X v Y."
1 unit (= 1/10 x £150) = £15
Senior "Good morning, Junior, no nothing new today on X v Y I'm afraid" 1 unit( (= 1/10 x £250) = £25.

So the smallest exchange cost my clients £40 even if it progressed the case not one bit. It was almost fraudulent. Fortunately my client company was insolvent and never going to be able to pay ( so presumably those solicitors' clients did).
