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.

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. -- mark |
