Where Harry lives, a solicitor is a lawyer. Where I live, it's a prostitute. I suppose a more uncharitable person might say that's a fine example of the essential unity of the English language.

Harry didn't minister mean something like a servant in Latin? (btw.) one could argue if people carrying this title nowdays do really serve us
