I was unfortunate enough to require the services of Leigh Day a couple of years ago and they were excellent. The insurance cover is my main reason for having BC membership, and even at £30-odd quid a year I count that as decent value.
Do they still print those kind of mags? I remember finding them in bushes as a lad but thought that had all stopped since the dawn of the etherweb.
