Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.

Basically by stating that at my age (and having sciatica) I'd have
problems standing on the tube in rush hour for the length of the journey
(about 40 minutes). I did say I'd be happy to serve at another court which
was either closer or 'out of town' so I'd be travelling against the normal
rush hour flow and likely to get a seat.
They seemed happy to take my word for it without involving my doctor.

Luckily, I'm ok with that. ;-)

Couple of years to go. But having already done service on a couple of
occasions it's only fair to give others a chance...

I have always been self employed so getting the Jury call could have been
very inconvenient and costly
But i have never been called and only 18 months to go before im exempt, dont
know whether to be happy about that fact or not.
