We have a growing concern in the UK about the growth in 'American Style' writs over the stupidest things. After reading this post I'm not surprised.
The only good news is that one of the UKs largest peddlars of this crap went bust last week - seems we Brits might be making a stand after all.
BTW I loved your email reply to the lawyers - I take it you've read "How to win friends and influence people".
Give 'em hell Doug...
