Instead Mr Jobs consults with his lawyers on wording and replies 'I am well aware I threatened you, and here is my threat in black and white'." from the book 'When Elephants Play Chicken' by J.R. Hartley.

That sounds like a book I would read. Oddly enough, I can't find it on amazon or goodreads. Or google. Is this a real book that actually exists?

Seems to be a fictional character [1] from a UK advert [2] though unfortunately I don't understand the reference in this context.
