If you fall down a hole in the road, or a get hit by falling debris from a building, who would you call, a Lawyer or a theatrical agent?
I was watching the telly and this advert came on about Lawyers and offered very detailed in information on how to make a claim. It came on three times in the one evening and really began to annoy me because I thought I knew the ‘real lawyer’ in it and could not remember where from.
Then it struck me that he was actually a policeman called Don Beech, although I could not remember exactly when I had met him as I have never really have that many dealings with law, except for that one time in New York when they tried to chase me, on horse back, through Central Park. I thought it was very inspirational that Don had gone back to law school and become a legal representative.
The next day I was telling my friend this and her jaw dropped at my stupidity. The guy in the advert was an actor called Bill Murray who used to be in the Bill and had also appeared in Eastenders. His only association with the law was the fact that the people who paid for him to go to acting school were gangsters!
So, the only thing he is representative of is how we can be duped into thinking that these adverts are genuine. Real lawyers indeed. I have been sitting all week waiting for it to come on again so that I can take a note of the number sin order to phone up and complain about the fact that they are deceiving us. Maybe someone could make an advert about how we should complain about false advertising and ask Mr Beech to appear in that as well! Or is it Murray?
