Day 11

Neal yard

Londoners at lunch time

July 21

Another beautiful day in London. I really appreciate each single moment. This morning as I was drinking my coffee at Starbucks, they were playing John’s music. Ahhhhhhh! I got my train ticket for Liverpool. Was easy to buy at Victoria station. I went early for my tour because I want to spread some time in Covent Garden area. I love to go on Neal Yard. There is no other place like that in London. After that I got lost… again. And I found myself on Endell street where you can have a very delicious Fish and Chip at Rock, Sole and Plaice. That was my lunch for today. I took it for take out and ate it in Bloombury Square.

Then I was not to far from Holborn Underground were the tour begin. It was an interesting tour : Legal and Illegal in London. I learn that there is 2 kinds of Lawyer : Barrister and solicitor. When people need legal advice, they contact a solicitor. Solicitors offer skilled advice on all kinds of legal matters – from buying a home to selling a corporation. Solicitors also represent their clients in court, mostly in the lower courts. Barristers act on instruction from solicitors; they have little or no contact with members of the public. Barristers perform two roles. When specialist expertise is needed, they give opinions on complex matters of law. And when clients require representation in the higher courts (Crown Courts, High Courts, Court of Appeal and House of Lords), barristers provide a specialist advocacy service. It is not so clear for me but I just wish I wont need any solicitor or barrister as I am in London.
Tonight I’ve talk with Marcel and Chantalon the phone. Make me feel a little bit at home. Cool!
