In the High Court today (paraphrased):
(A litigant-in-person is being asked to go out and get a form from another part of the building and come back)
Litigant-In-Person: "May I leave my papers and things here, My Lord?"
Mr. Justice Pumfrey: "I would prefer if you put your things in a pile on the side."
(litigant starts to pile up her things on the side)
MJP: "Don't leave your handbag - there are plenty of counsel about."
