At least some sense can be made of this tome. The path referred to is actually on the ground in Widnes....Victoria St., Batherton Cl., Cornubia Rd and all. I did a Gobbledygookgoogleearth search, and even the 'Steptoe & Son' scrap metal yard is clearly visible.

Somewhere, a Lawyer is involved in all this, however, with that 'description' in hand, you could physically walk the path without fear of trespassing on private land......depending on the weather, of course:p

But as for the other snippets, well, I'm just @*(3?!!:shock:>%##&@*//;!:cry:

The Law 101.

See Section G. Glossary of Terms; - Sub-section (s) - Spelling.

sub-para (26.c[ii]), to para 77.m, to Section A-2, to Part XXXIV of Sub-section (s),
to Section G, refers;

Extract;

- sub-para (26.c[ii]
)
is a resource that gives the correct and only accepted form of spelling for those fortunate enough to be accepted to the Bar, and beyond.

Some examples are given here. The status in Law is given first, followed by the correct spelling for that status;

  • Lawyer ......$$$,$$$
  • Solicitor........$$,$$$,$$$.
  • Barrister..........$$$,$$$,$$$
  • Queen's Counsel........$,$$$,$$$,$$$,$$$
  • High Court Judge...........$$,$$$,$$$,$$$,$$$*
  • High Class Hooker..........$$,$$$,$$$,$$$,$$$*
* These two latter entries are conjugated by the same spelling as there is some argument about which is the older Profession. There is also conjugation of another nature between these two Professions, but that subject is discussed fully in Section G. Glossary of Terms; - Sub-section (fagtc[#]) - For a good time, call #(telephone number).

I rest my Case!:sarc:

Does this mean that they are both the same? I guess that's where the phrases Caught Hook line and sinker and Let off the Hook come from.
