The most surprising people can't read. I travelled a couple of hundred miles to a meeting this morning, with some potential clients, other lawyer potential clients who may want some consultancy.
Or not, because the first question was -
"Can you run our conveyancing team for us?"
Me " er no, because I don't do conveyancing, I'm a litigator, like it says in the profile I sent you."
Them "Oh well in that case we can't use you"
It was over in less than five minutes!
They just wasted four hours of my time and a £55 train fare because they couldn't read. I didn't scream or shout or anything!
On a happier note - I think I've just bought a house!
Yay!
