Now my part, and this is the whole of it.
My solicitor told me.
Ms Rutherford. Four times, in writing twice.
In the September she said, in a meeting, that she would like somebody to look at Brackley properly before I signed anything.
She said it would take about four weeks and that she could not properly advise me on a settlement without it.
And I said no.
Not angrily. Pleasantly. I said something about not wanting to drag it out, and she wrote four lines in a file note which I have now read.
The second time, in the October, she said it again and put a figure on what those four weeks would cost. About eleven hundred dollars.
And I said no again, and this time I said it in writing, in an email of about four lines, which she also kept.
The third time she rang me.
