Default OT Jury service. At 75? Are they serious? Again.

Some of you may remember that last September, at the age of 75, I was
summoned for jury service for the first time in my life. Since I can't
stay awake after 1:00 without having a sleep. I wrote to them, with
supporting evidence, that I was 75 and diabetic. I got off.

Now I have been "randomly selected" again for jury service. I'm aware
the random numbers can, in the short term, exhibit peculiar effects
but I'm still cynical.

I'll just repeat the process that worked last time. Roll on 76.

I did read somewhere that if you just ignore the letter they will find
somebody else.
Is this true?

I suppose they would have to get somebody else if a cranky Judge jailed you
for contempt of court.
Probably unlikely , £1000 pound fine is what you risk.
