So, guess who got a summons for jury duty in the post yesterday? It’s only for March, but given my myeloma might have finished me off by then, it was a bit optimistic. OTOH, the Ministry of Justice are unlikely to know that.

I baled out on account of my age (65+). There didn’t seem much point in getting my GP to write a medical certificate for me.

In one way it’s a shame. I’ve only been on a jury once (a minor assault charge for some young people in a complicated three-way relationship — old boyfriend and new boyfriend). It was interesting seeing how the system worked and how seriously all the jurors took the case, given the consequences of a guilty verdict.
