I suppose I should firstly thank you for taking the time to spend a minute or two reading my profile. As you have no doubt realised, my name is Neil and I lived in the United Kingdom. I work in the legal sector in the UK and have done so for 8 years or so now. Prior to this, I studied Spanish at university and graduated in 2004.
