The Diary would like to apologise for last month’s caption competition, which invited readers to imagine a conversation at Ashurst Morris Crisp’s Appold Street headquarters in the aftermath of the breakdown of its merger talks with Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson.
An Ashursts partner has e-mailed us in response to the winning caption – “Fuck off!” “No, You fuck off!” – to observe that that it ought to have been in French, given that the bubble emanated from the part of the building occupied by Credit Lyonnais.
