I don't get how barristers have to chase solicitors for payment?

I'm a solicitor and I wouldn't even think of instructing counsel without money on account to pay for it. I am therefore always prompt when the clerks submit their fee note.

The only other explanation I can think of is that solicitors are instructing counsel without money on account? Is this really such common practice?
