This is a good point. Can anyone verify that these 2 law firms were ever in the same building on st George's terrace? I have been to both offices recently and also back in late 90's but can't remember them ever being in the same building. If so there was always plenty of opportunity to chat in
lifts etc beyond having a precessional relationship.
Spend a couple of hours in the Battye Library going through their stack of old yellow and white pages it's interesting what you can come across and who you can come across both in the phone books and sitting there looking at the phone books.
