Justine McCool knows that TLATA 1996 exists and this puts her so far ahead of the local competition that she mentions it in her profile.
Jessica Allbon was one of those new fangled police women for a bit (what japes!) but decided she'd never meet a nice wealthy husband doing that so she joined us!
Chris was a partner here a looooonnnnggg time and really should be retired. He worked at Macfarlanes for about 5 minutes in the 70s and is STILL banging on about. We are really hoping he will fvck off soon.
Shella likes to spend her free time in the great outdoors in the sun and going on regular holidays to exotic sunny climes. We only mention this in case any potential clients were thinking something else.
Leaves at 12 on a Friday for a long lunch at the Club (ie doesn't return to the office) with Trustees' stock-brokers and other financial advisors to discuss which shares or other assets to sell (and maybe to B&B) to take max advantage of current fiscal year's tax allowances before year-end.

‘knows that TLATA 1996 exists and this puts her so far ahead of the local competition that she mentions it in her profile’
I suspect the local competition is still issuing writs in the Court of Piepowder under the Statute of Westminster 1285 (‘the later act’)

A firm a m7 worked for about ten years ago still had a trolley bringing a pot of tea and cakes/biscuits to each partner at 3pm every day.
Quite a big firm too, sort of lower silver circle, apex of the bronze medallion

They haven't got IT and laptops; they employ scriveners to produce their documents.
SPs are served by footmen.
Some SPs did a short service commission in the Household Divn (Foot Gds, Life Gds or Blues and Royals), Rifles or the RA.
They don't laugh, they guffaw.
Many of the clients in reception have receding chins
You are non-U if:
your parents are self-made or your dad was in a 'crap-hat' Regt.
You think Purdey was the character in The New Avengers played by Joanna Lumley
Holland and Holland was the former Spanish Netherlands and before it became Belgium and the Netherlands
You are a beater, not a gun
If you think breaking your gun means smashing it against the wall.
