Guest Wolfie Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 thanks everyone - im ok with it - just hope i get a juicy case - its just the travelling and cost of parking that bugging me now! - but hey ho Your parking charges are reimbursed! Quote
Guest Wolfie Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I was called last year, it was ok, good experience,and i met a new friend who ive kept in touch with, id do it again any day. I've also kept in contact with several members of the jury, we've become really quite close - it was a very emotional experience and only WE know what WE went through. These are people that maybe I would never have considered as friends in other circumstances but the whole thing really bonded us. I'd do it again any day too! Quote
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 well i was reading the leaflet and hubby said i could get excused on mental grounds What? On the grounds that he drives you mental? Quote
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 - think hes more worried that tea wont be on the table at 6pm Quote
AnonyMouse_79 Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Let the train take the strain, hali. Assumimg you're at Reading Crown Court, its about a 5 minute walk from the train station to the court and it must be longer to the nearest carpark! Quote
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 its getting to the train this end Susan - i would still have to drive to the station ( a few miles away) and park up there for the day! Quote
Guest Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Poor you Hali, I dread the call and guess most of us will get it at some point. Hope it all goes well.. Quote

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I have never been called (even at my great age) have a complete dread of the whole thought - I really wouldn't want to be a part of deciding someones fate - would worry me to death + I am the most indecisive person I know!!! Good luck Sunnyday Quote
