Fish and chips taste better in Yorkshire, as any native of the county will agree (yes - Ed). Newly merged Skipton and Keighley firm AWB Charlesworth Solicitors has made the delicacy the centrepiece of a regular informal Friday lunchtime get-together with local professional contacts. According to commercial partner Umberto Vietri: ‘Our lives are all driven by the speed and convenience of emailing and phones, but there is no substitute for actually meeting people. The fish and chips will make a change from traditional corporate entertaining fare.’ Better value, too, as any native of the broad acres will also point out.

Obiter approves - but wouldn’t the delicacy be even tastier wrapped in the Gazette?
