How can this be? I thought Maggie was a lawyer. <ducks fast>
Maggie? A lawyer?? Boy, you'd
better duck!
HOW DID I MISS THESE COMMENTS?
Me - a Lawyer? I don't know whether to get mad or cry!
Where you might have got that idea is, I'm a Florida Notary Public.
In the UK and probably in British Commonwealth Countries, to be a Notary you also have to be a Solicitor / Attorney / Lawyer.
All you need in the United States is to have no criminal record, pass the Notary test, and follow the guidelines. Ethics and integrity come in handy too.
However, my lovely daughter-in-law really is "in-law"......she is a Barrister in London.
But the practice of Law in England is a whole different ball game.
Sorry, Lynn Hilary.....but I couldn't let that "lawyer" comment go, you understand.....
And I think you are super, by the way.
About accents, guys.....we ALL have an accent, you too.
An individual accent not only comes from where you are from, it comes from family and those around you as you grow. It can also evolve due to circumstances and change of location.
I haven't heard Lynn speak yet, but I'm sure she has a delightful accent.
