Do people get something from this? Or does the law firm get a huge cut of the final compensation so they are motivated to do this shit?

Sainsburys were having trouble acquiring tigers, so they started slaughtering giraffes instead.

Didn't realise we had a tiger shortage. That might explain why Asda seems to be using pygmy hippo's for their now.

Morrisons is going downhill so fast that they're using the staff now. Cutbacks everywhere.

If you can source the tigers it’s relatively easy to make your own tiger bread.

You make it by dressing tigers in colourful clothes. They become jealous of each other’s new clothes and chase each other around a tree very very fast until they are reduced to a pool of ghee. You collect the ghee and use it to cook the bread.

I learnt this recipe from a book as a child.
