[Harley's Dad]

A brilliant and very highly intelligent lawyer named F E Smith (a contemporary of Winston Churchill) was appearing in court and had just concluded his case on behalf of the Defendant.

The judge said "Mr Smith, having listened to that I don't think I'm any the wiser."

To which Smith responded "True, my Lord, but at least you'll now be better informed"!

To me, the audacity and brilliance of that impertinence is unequalled. God, how I wish I'd been capable of something like that in my time in Whitehall ...
