Ambulance chasers

Twice in the last 10 days the Gorse Fox has received emails from a company who claim to be putting a group legal action in place against Starfleet regarding their handling of the pension changes which were imposed on the employees. The Gorse Fox was invited to register on a no win, no fee basis. The Gorse Fox doesn't exactly smell a rat, but he is suspicious. He wrote to a handful of fellow retirees from Starfleet. Had they been approached? Did they have any views?

It would appear that the consensus is that they are a bunch of ambulance chasers and none of the colleagues he contacted are going to proceed. Interestingly one colleague commented how much he likes leading these people on:
"Depending on my mood and the time available I often engage with the callers. The most outlandish conversation to date is ‘when I claimed that I had killed 37 people by driving a coach off a cliff edge on the Jurassic Coast’. When they asked me for the registration details and make of the coach I got bored and hung up. Does anyone else take part in this pastime (or is it sport)?"
Clearly the Gorse Fox is not the only person with a mischievous side.
