Re: Jury Service??
 
I was called up a few years ago. Sat around for a few days and they let many of us go as a couple of big cases had been postponed. It was as boring as hell. I would not wish it on anyone. If you do get called for a big case you could be stuck on it for months. No good if you work and don't want to be away for that long.

One of my neighbours got called on his 18th birthday and again a couple of years after. I have never been called and really no wish to be so.

I dont think I'd enjoy jury service. Much nicer to not have someones life in your hands in my opinion.

If I was called and spent all the time doing nothing but read magazines I'd be going bananas thinking of all the other things I could be doing instead!

You could read an educational book then instead.

or do sudoku - but I'd still be thinking of the washing/ironing/mending/dusting not to mention other home based things that I couldn't do because I wasn't there.

haha whenever sudoku is mentioned now I think of that woman who did the voice for the rail service.

Sudoku are crosswords for people who lack imagination.

Been called twice and both times have got out of it. First time due to a bad back the doctor wrote me a letter, second my boss wrote a letter asking for me to be excused.

Well.... I'll go to t'foot of our stairs! :D

I don't believe this has happened after talking so recently about the fact that I'd never been called for Jury Service.

This morning I received a summons from Her Majesty's Court requesting my presence for Jury Service at Burnley Crown Court at the end of March!

I hope it's not any of you lot.....I wouldn't want to meet an Accywebber under such circumstances! :eek:

When It's said that people are picked at random, perhaps really it's members of accyweb who's names are picked at random for jury service as numerous members on here have been picked, and several times over too.:D
