[dot.hawkes]

I finally have my week off at home, no travelling to do, staying here to get loads done, and the weather is rubbish!!!!!!!!! it is depressing, still, could be worse, i could be summoned to jury service, how unlkely is that though? I am nearly 50 and lived her in England all my life and never yet had the call, I must be lucky eh?lol

[turboped]

Why worry Dot, saves you dragging the puter into the garden.

[wonderwoman1]

its lovely in Edinburgh Dot!

[redcrx]

my mum got a call around that age. Shes the only person Ive ever known to get called.
I count my lucky stars that i havnt been called. i mean, fancy having to travel to another city just to be a juror. Assuming they do that of course.

Hope weather gets better soon. Hows the eczema now? is cooler weather improving it?

[dot.hawkes]

well it's only a small laptop and that wouldn't be a prob, but i had such a lot to get done outside ;(

[dot.hawkes]

grrr WW, it's still dull and wet here! The cooler weather is helping but it kept me up last night, cheers for asking, just glad i wasn't away i wouldn't manage on a plane for 8 or 9 hours with this itchin

[mccfluff]

its raining here, and recently we've had 5 members of staff called in for jury duty ages ranging from 25-63, so you never know........

[PinkFizz]

Ive never been called to jury service either!! Yet my b/f has twice!. Very cloudy here as well Dot,and windy as well,

[~posy~]

you've done it now dot!! you'll get called up now!! our weather is pants too very windy and on/off rain xXx

[Octavius]

humidity's risin'
barometer's getting low
according to our sources
the street's the place to go

I have been on jury service and in all honesty I would say that it is very very very dull, but mostly depressing.

[drestie]

Don't you have to be a citizen to be called up?

[redcrx]

hope the break in the weather gives it a chance to heal now. I know what its like and thankfully havnt suffered this year. Its no joke.

[dot.hawkes]

As a result of the 2003 Criminal Justice Act, every person on the electoral roll, (who has lived in the UK for five years) is eligible for jury service. The only exceptions are people deemed to have "mental disorders", people over 70 years-old or people who have been disqualified from jury service, such as those with criminal convictions. This means you will be liable to attend jury service, regardless of your job or commitments

I wonder if wonderwoman 1,
Knows the difference between Glasgow and Edinburgh?
I was told that if you are visiting folk in Edinburgh,they say you'll have had your Tea
But when visiting in Glasgow they say you'll be stopping for your Tea!!!

[redcrx]

Theres nothing worse than an annoying itch tho Dot. Hope you can ignore it and not scratch

[dot.hawkes]

I will, infact I may just see what buttons i can press to totally erase it. lol

[redcrx]

i know what you mean.

[wonderwoman1]

dee-m-see, i was brought up in the west so i am a westener through and through!!!! lived here for 3 yrs!!

and you are right about the saying!!!! lol

Also, when called, you will have no knowledge of whether you will actually be selected to a jury, let alone what the case will be. I was sent home 3 days in an row before actually being selected, and even then, when you hear the details for the case (the charge, duration etc) and you are asked whether you are able and willing to serve the case.
