Tales of flying saucepans, knives and tableware, all thrown in the heat of the moment, can be among the regular confidences entrusted to a family lawyer. “It’s enough to make you put a helmet on your head,” a colleague once said to me, “Or at least duck.”
The news story today of the lady sentenced by the court for hitting her partner with a rolling pin was another version of a familiar tale.
Trouble was it doesn’t sound as though she was baking at the time, or there was no mention of a flour dusting if she was; just a bloodied nose as she extracted her revenge for her partner's text message from another woman.
