Giant stick insect

David

Your email has been forwarded to the firm and I thought I'd set out a few memories of James for the Blog.

I didn't really know James that well as I have only been with the firm for 20 odd months. During my first six months here, however, James was one of the corporate trainees. He helped me out on a job that involved an all night completion meeting in Reading (glamorous or what) and one of my funniest memories of James was seeing him squashed into my 14 year old Polo like some sort of wise-cracking giant stick insect as we travelled to and from Tewskesbury for a dull disclosure meeting on an extremely hot day in July 2004.

After our all nighter, James rightly sussed out that my weakness is football as it appears was his: the Villa will always be big but not big enough.

James was a great laugh and always had a story to tell you. We'll miss him. Chris
