What does Silk mean?

[tiggerblue10]

I've tried googling it but it just comes up with the material and worm. I would like to know what the legal term "Silk" means.

Thanks

[Sqad]

ask barmaid.....I think it is when a barrister becomes a QC

Not sure though.

There you go, tiggs...........:o)

[tiggerblue10]

Thanks Sqad and JTH :o)

Just wikied QC and it refers to the silk gowns worn by them.

[tiggerblue10]

Excuse my thickness! Lol

[Sqad]

tiggy....are you watching the TV series "Silk?"

[tiggerblue10]

How on Earth did you guess that Sqad ;o)

[Mick-Talbot]

he's peeping through your window, right now!

[tiggerblue10]

Well if he is he'll be very disappointed Mick!

[Sqad]

tiggy....LOL....the barrister(female) is the one that was in the "Mistresses" who kept referring to her partner as Richaaaaaaaaaard.

Couldn´t stand the bloody woman and can´t in Silk.....always rushing about, panicking, dishevelled and disorganised.

^ Incorrect, sqad..........I'm afraid.

Maxine Peake must have irritated you in something else as she has never been in Mistresses.

[Sqad]

JTH....OK....thanks.

[ojread2]

she looks very much like the actress who plays Trudi though

[tiggerblue10]

Think you're confusing her with Sharon Small Sqad. There is a definite resemblance though so not surprised.

[tiggerblue10]

Maxine Peake was in Clocking Off and Shameless. Loads of other stuff too. I think she's brilliant.

[jackthehat]

Orla Brady played the barrister in Mistresses.............not much resemblance, at all.

[Sqad]

JTH I wasnt talking about the barrister in Mistresses.

[murraymints]

Sqad...watching mistresses ...? TOTALLY out of character...LOL....

[Mick-Talbot]

to be fair, sqad has had that many 'Mistresses' he can be excused for getting confused.

[jackthehat]

Ah, I see.............my mistake in misidentifying your mistake...............

[NazNomad]

Mick, I don't think Rosie Thumb and her four sisters really count as mistresses.
