Like many people on here, I have followed posts by SarEl and have found the advice to be accurate and helpful. There is no sugar coating, just the facts!

Seconded.

Thirded (can I do that?) SarEls advice is usually very sound.

I confess however, these days I read her posts, less for the employment law advice and more for her regular destroying of wannabe cyberspace 'legal experts'

The 2.1 hasn't really worked out all that well then has it, if you do not know that ACAS mediate employment issues and will never represent anyone, and nor do they provide support to either party. They will provide impartyial advice, and if you are very very lucky, their advice might even be correct (although it often isn't).

Getting a 2.1 does not mean you know the law (nor does your stating it here mean it is true) - and that is why I gave my advice without mentioning the fact that I have been a barrister specialising in employment law for more than 30 years. What people claim to be on here is not verifiable - the OP can, however, go through my posting history and determine for herself the value of my advice.

Oh dear! God forgive me for suggestion something you do not agree with! Clearly self rightousness and sanctimoniousness is something that you are clearly not lacking. Being a Barrister hasn't really stood you in good stead with regard to spelling, punctuation and grammar!

I don't doubt that. I just dared to suggest something different to her! Hardly worth getting upset and haughty about it! Very sorry I expressed an opinion that differed to hers!!! :rotfl:

I don't usually do this, but given the content of your own post, it's "suggesting".

I don't do that either, but I always want to!

I said I was a barrister - not a secretary. I have never claimed to be able to type - that is why I employ staff to do that for me. I might check punctuation and grammar when I have time. But I don't need anyone to check the law for me - unlike you. Since I am employed in the law and not as an English (or keyboard skills) teacher that seems fair enough. And with your 2.1 (by the way - I got a 1st - in the LL.B - and that was the first of four law degrees I hold) you still do not know what ACAS do.

That would of course be too self important.

Keep that in mind when you next criticise someone's spelling!

Thank you - but to be fair, it isn't my spelling. It's the fact that my mind works faster than my untrained fingers. They simply can't keep up, so they tend to hit any old key! Unfortunately I was brought up in the days when smart kids didn't get to go to typing classes "because we would never need it", and the computer at my first univesity was a building!
