guess what I do for a living  - yes it's true  I'm an in-houser at a civ eng company.

I am sure Jabba meant "present company accepted"!

Of course
I did say "as a group" and and not "all solicitors". There are good and bad in all professions and since I hadn't spotted Ed as being one, he must be one of the nice ones!
[Phew!!]
I based my comments on my experience with our in-housers who frequently forget their client-contractor relationship with us (we instruct them, not the other way round), and who also forget that we know more about the legislation and case-law surrounding our profession than they do. I also don't like those who continue to argue the toss against overwhelming evidence simply because they are being paid for their time.
