Cocktails and Records

I am currently attempting to sort out some financial matters and need to obtain a certified copy of a document. The instructions on how to do this stress that the copy needs to be certified ‘by a professional person (e.g. a banker, lawyer or doctor).’

Fantastic!

Isn’t it lovely that social workers, sales assistants, builders, IT people, photographers, nurses, administrators, graphic designers, plumbers etc. etc. are all considered too untrustworthy and downright dodgy to be able to verify a photocopy, yet a banker or lawyer is.

At least someone still believes in them.
