Not sure if anyone still does this, but my first ever solicitor in the
70's had a rather charming style in his bills. He'd itemise the search
fees, put in the hours and the rate, add them all up and write something
like this

total, £2142-76

But say, £2100

My solicitor here has done this on a couple of conveyancing transactions.
I guess you're meant to feel profoundly grateful that you've 'only' been
charged the lower amount.
