Last week’s piece in the Daily Mail about the top earning legal aid lawyers – courtesy of a timely press release from the Ministry of Justice – elicited some crazed responses, including this gem of a mixed metaphor…

Of course, it’s entirely possible that ‘Dee Man’ was referring to the Brazilian Flying Leech, with the “pocket” quip a reference to that species’ enthusiasm for biting fishermen, whose large pockets represent an excellent location from which to mount an attack.
