Don't worry, it's not as bad as you might think, and you won't be alone.
I have deferred as the date given, I will be out of the country.
The Old Baily wow, I would have loved that too.
I hope the case is not three months, that must have been a very important case.
Thanks for the post.

I must admit, I did have a few arguments with the other jurors at the Old Bailey, I had some differences of opinion about the case we were on. But overall it was great. So much history attached to the place, especially court number one, some really well known cases tried in there.
I will research this.
Thanks for the interesting post.

Thanks for the interesting post.
treat it as a new experience and something to put in your knowledge book part of the memory.
I and I suspect all that await sitting on a jury for the first time fell apprehensive and a little scared.

I appreciate that. X
