I notice in the September 2009 edition of Lexpress, Severn Trent have advertised hips. What have we come to when in our own publication we allow competitors to advertise the services we should be supplying?
It would seem that nobody
It would seem that nobody listened as the advert is there again this month

You are correct. No-one is
You are correct.
No-one is listening.
However as our beloved President has called for a debate on the future role of the Warwickshire Law Society I for one do not intend to let the topic drop.
So now we know. I am told by
So now we know.
I am told by the authorities that it is perfectly in order for service providers to advertise in Lexpress because it provides a means to defray expenses.
A perfectly reasonable explanation!!!
Presumably in the Severn Trent in house magazine we would find adverts suggesting that the readers should take up offers from Northumbrian Water or the like.
After all it does not matter as long as expenses are defrayed.
Just look at Lexpress.
The best thing about it is the paper it is printed on.
Very classy.
That is not something we can say about the articles within it.
Take the latest issue. Our President is again rambling on in his usual incoherent and ungrammatical way about the meaning of life.
It seems that he and the rest of the council have only just stumbled on such questions as "Who are we?" - "what are we here for?" when the rest of us have been pondering these unknowns ever since we became sentient.
Having discovered the question, it must have stirred something because he then goes on to ask it two more times as if repetition is going to provide the inspiration to advance a credible solution to the problem. Sadly no answer is forthcoming and I for one remain floundering in the primeval darkness.
Then there is the inevitable report from HQ by Kevin Martin which truly does make me contemplate on the meaning of existence - or lack of it.
To top it all on the back page we have a lecture from a banker trying to give us advice on how to survive the recession - I ask you - a banker!!??!!
I give up.
I am so glad I have never cancelled my subscription to The Beano.
Well said Ian! It would
Well said Ian! It would appear that the proof reader has also been relieved of his/her duties owing to the typographical errors spotted in the latest Lexpress.
