Irwin Mitchell's London office was abandoned this week because of a flood.
Staff were instructed not to come to work on Monday or Tuesday and sources report that they were still waiting to get the negligence machine rolling again on Wednesday. An insider reported at the time that disaster recovery efforts were hampered because "no one can find the disaster recovery plans".
Other insiders told RollOnFriday that the office was flooded on Sunday, but that management's exhortations to work from home in the meantime were in vain, because "no one took any files with them". Apparently it was also discovered that the firm did not own the necessary licences to allow staff to log on remotely.
A spokesman for Irwin Mitchell said that a "water leak" shorted critical electrical systems which prompted the landlord to evacuate the building, but that the office was open on Wednesday. He also said that staff were able to take away files, there were no problems with working remotely, that "business carried on as usual" and absolutely denied that at any point the entire building reared up into the air before slipping quietly under the waves down, down, down to a cold and silent grave.
Where were we? Oh yes, the poll.

Next year Rodney our commercial division will deliver and we'll be millionaires. Keep dreaming boys.

As profits dwindle the PI partners will get fed up of funding a failing division which will never do much apart from bump along the bottom. I think the firm will look very different in 3 years time.
