Apprentice's De Lacy-Brown: Securing a pupillage was harder than confronting Sir Alan

An embarassment to the profession I'm an antipodean lawyer in the UK, and wasn't sure whether to laugh. cry, throw up or hand in my practising certificate after viewing this pathetic deluded creature on the Apprentice. A barrister who can only talk to educated people - my god, what do they teach at KCL! Personally, the best barrister I ever briefed had been a logger (i.e. lumberjack) for 20 years, and took up law after a back injury. He certainly knew his Tottenham from his Hotspur and his kilos from his pounds, and the clients LOVED him, and everyone else lived in terror (ok, his clients were more the smacked off their nuts type that would eat our beloved Nicky for breakfast before a bail app). But, as a state educated common-or-garden solicitor it was lovely to see the snootiest representative of the inbred so-called cream of the profession (the thick and the rich, that is) get the Sugar-sweet treatment.
