Guy Richards was an American student in Surrey with a passion for sport. But one night, a reckless dive into a shallow pool broke his neck. He was paralysed from the chest down and faced a life with no sensation at all in his lower limbs. Fortunately an experimental treatment appears to have made a difference. Whilst his medical team have been impressed it could have been much worse. It was of course his fault and not clinical negligence that led to his problem. Although his story is tragic, other stories show how spinal injury can easily occur. Had it happened elsewhere and not in Surrey, solicitors may have been able to offer clinical negligence support but depending on his spinal injury we cannot be sure. If you have any questions on clinical negligence you should also ask accredited solicitors.

So you’ve been to the local pet store and you’ve noticed that the keep their fish divided into several sections. Why do they do this, you wonder? We’ll take you through the basics of what these fish are and why they are not kept together in the same tanks.
First of all, for our basic purposes there are four categories of fish. Without getting too technical or using the actual scientific names, beginners would be wise to think of the four groups as: marine or salt-water fish, goldfish, community fish, and cichlids. We’ll go through each group and give you an outline of what you can expect with each type of fish.
The marine fish are obviously the most beautiful of the bunch, brightly colored and sometimes bizarrely shaped, salt-water fish are almost everyone’s favorite.
