Green forms and fixed fees

I am impressed by the number of people who fondly (I think fondly is the correct word) remember Green forms. I wonder how many of you recall five pound fixed fees. It had a certain ring to it.

The idea was to get people into the office, give them some advice and either sign them up if it was something worthwhile or take five pounds off them, open the door and wish them good day.
