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
prev At Crown Court I am being sentenced by a Judge who used to prosecute for the Crown and is a QC, he has been a judge for 1 year.

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.

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

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

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

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