I've been called up for jury service twice ,first time it was in the 1st 2 weeks in January (sales bonanza) in the city centre and then 2nd time last 2 weeks in June in the sunshine..absolutely loved both times and never any problems with any payments that were owed to me

I was one of 15 people called for jury service and although I wasn't one of the 12 selected I had to sit and listen as the charges were read out in case one of the chosen 12 had to be excused.
The least serious/offensive of the 8 charges read out was the accused had urinated in his child's mouth.
As the charges were read out they were installing TV screens in the courtroom - the children were obviously going to be giving video evidence.
Some of the jury were in tears (even when they were told they would never have to do jury service ever again.)
Fortunately for me I didn't have to stay but I wonder if "juror" should be a profession.

Dim wasn't too pleased when I seen him today, he asked when told him and he burst out laughing and then said brilliant

I just agreed
