Welcome to Fat Cats and City Rats!

This blog is a small passion-project, about fat cats and city rats. Bankers and lawyers. Other names they go by include the "working dead", "soulless", or if you're Engels, "parasites"... this website looks at all the ways we see them, and they see us.

If you're simply visiting, then I sincerely hope with the guidance of your two hosts, Pickwick and Bulstrode, that you have a humorous time going through the various reasons and resources for law, and finance, and how the two have come to be.
