Just got in and found a jury summons in the post.
It filled me with dread because there are a few reasons as to why I cannot do it.
The main one is having very unpredictable, heavy periods and the second is childcare.
I have a period every three weeks and therefore it's quite likely that I will have one whilst doing jury service (think the norm is 2 weeks service) and secondly, even if I use tampons, it might be that I need to change after only 30 minutes!! I surely cannot just randomly keep getting up and using the loo in the middle of a court thingy??
It says you might be called upon later in that year if you don't give dates you cannot do.
Shall I just say "call me again when I've been through the menopause"!!!
To be honest, goodness know why they ask mothers of school age kids!!
