I take your point. I literally cut-and-pasted the message.

Isn't the phrase accurate, however, as 'British' merely compliments 'barristers'? Strictly speaking, the problem wouldn't be Scotland since, as you note, you don't have barristers. Northern Ireland, on the other hand, ...

As you know, 'British' is a problematic term there, too.

Best wishes.
