I sat in the back row of a hearing at an employment tribunal yesterday, trying to appear inconspicuous. Before you ask, observe was all I was there to do. In a room the size of my lounge it wasn't that easy to blend in unnoticed. Every nostril flare and eyebrow flicker of each of the 3 wise men up front was clearly visible.
The thing that I thoroughly enjoyed was the legal eagle representatives who take themselves ever so seriously.
Definition: legal eagle noun: 1. successful, young, bright, dynamic lawyer
I have assumed they are all of those things.
It's fabulous the way they call each other 'my learned friend', and almost always enveloped in a tone of implicit derision and suppressed wit - very worthy of a TV drama.
"It appears to me that my learned friend is attempting trial by ambush."
Priceless.
