How about divorce for Christmas?

STUCK for Christmas gift ideas? How about a divorce voucher? In an unusual take on the season of giving, a London law firm is offering Christmas gift vouchers for divorce advice.

Lloyd Platt & Co, which normally charges 325 pounds (US$530) an hour, said it had been swamped with enquiries since it launched the vouchers early last week. More than 60 have been sold - a snip at 125 pounds for a half-hour session with a divorce lawyer.

"They seem to appeal to an enormously widespread spectrum of people looking for that 'must have' gift," said firm founder Vanessa Lloyd Platt.
