That's what you get from lawyers 

 

Who's a lawyer?

 

Who's a lawyer?

You called?

Well Vicky was the one who used the word and I assumed she is a lawyer, isn't she?  Sorry if my impression was wrong!

A valid point....

In the UK, the word 'lawyer' is generally used to mean someone who is a qualified solicitor or barrister.  I am a legal professional with 10 experience practicing immigration law, and am registered at level 3 with the OISC, which gives me the same rights of audience at the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal as a solicitor has, but, to be perfectly accurate, I am not a lawyer.

However, if I had to type the above every time someone incorrectly referred to me as a lawyer, I'd get really bored, and this thread would have totally gone off topic, so I let it slide.

I would like to apologise to everyone who was under the misapprehension that I was a 'lawyer'; I would like to apologise to everyone who is a lawyer and feel that I am trying to pass myself off, which I am not, and, most importantly, I would like to apologise to those who thought that THIS BLOODY THREAD WAS ABOUT DELIA SMITH.


Thank you.

Vicky

I think 'I am not a lawyer' would probably suffice.  Maybe you could put it in your signature.

Well good to know!  I won't call you a lawyer ever again! 

Okay back to tinned food

'OISC Registered Immigration Consultant' is in my sig.  I think that will do.

Lawyers can be OISIC too.

Just to clarify, as far as the Law Society of England and Wales is concerned, anyone who practises law may call him/herself a lawyer. This would include legal excutives and overseas qualified lawyers like myself.  However, only solicitors who have qualified in England and Wales may call themselves solicitors.  Anyone holding him/herself out to be a solicitor would be committing a criminal offence.  Similar rules apply to barristers, and in Scotland.

Hijack over, sorry Delia. 

So i'm doing this Delia recipe this weekend..........................................

I finally found the Heinz Frito sauce - of course, I was looking next to the ketchup, when I should have been in the tinned toms area  It may be very quick to throw together but still requires 2 hours cooking!

And am also trying her dessert like a chocolate mouse but made with ricotta cheese

I think if we all were to list things we were NOT, we'd all soon run out of signature space.

But I'm willing to put "I'm not a cook!" in there, if it makes anyone feel better. Which is why I think Delia's show is so corking.

BTW, hubby made the gammon and potato recipe from the book last night. I'm not a huge fan of gammon, but it wasn't half bad!

And am also trying her dessert like a chocolate mouse but made with ricotta cheese 

Could you post back after? I'd love to know what the consistency was like. Just can't quite fathom a ricotta-based mousse.

Yes, of course. Im more interested to see what the kidlets think (CHEESE!!!!!??)

My eldest finds cooked fruit highly suspicious...

I just saw an old Delia programme, where she made 'iced tea'.
First she goes on about how popular iced tea is in the US, then she begins to make it...

black tea (which i wouldnt use for iced tea)
mint leaves (nope - i wouldnt use them either)
ORANGE JUICE!  (in iced tea?   )

>>boak<<

Seems more like a tea punch to me (which can be nice if done correctly).
