This is my first post since Jackson. I decided that rather than joining in the hysteria about the end of the world as we know it, I would wait until something new and interesting actually happened. It's taken 7 months. And I still feel fine....just a little irritated.

It's a Sin
I started training in costs in July 1987. The Pet Shop Boys were at number one with "It's a Sin". Perhaps it was an omen.
In those days costs draftsmen seemed to deal with a much wider variety of work on a daily basis. Legal aid was available for everything under the sun, and virtually all solicitors dealt with legal aid to a greater or lesser extent. Justice was already pretty accessible to be honest, and as a result every type of case imaginable headed to us... from divorce, through DVMPA claims, to boundary disputes, Inheritance Act, Court of Protection, medical negligence and...perish the thought...legally aided personal injury cases.
