Apparently, Barry O’Brien, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer’s corporate head, is renowned for being like an archetypal World War I fighter pilot, because of the way he talks.

Good ol’ ‘Biggles’ as he is known, doesn’t pronounce the Gs at the end of his words, so he talks about “goin’ shootin’” and “walkin’ into somethin’”, which has led many to believe that his big round glasses are actually strapped around the back of his head.
