News that Midlands accounting firm Cooper Parry is suing Barclays over use of advertising slogan ‘Now there’s a thought’ got TS thinking.

It’s been mentioned here before that tax people Chiltern have a brand not a million miles away from Deloitte’s ­ the blue writing, the unnecessary coloured dot. Not only that, but the firm operates in a similar field. Does TS sense the dollar signs flashing in other lawyers eyes, on the back of the Cooper Parry case?

Whatever happens there, TS will be defending our sole right to use the term ‘taking stock,’ and suing for millions in damages if necessary. TS in court ­- now there’s a thought.
