@martynmcl.bsky.socialFinally read it: good stuff! Also needing updated is the £ you can claim for lost earnings and how it's claimed. Plus being able to say "I can't do these days but I can do x-y next month" would be brilliant - a pal of mine in England this year was able to postpone hers for a couple of months.
Show PostI'm logging on for work soon, going to read the piece then. It's bonkers, I had two high court and a sheriff court within 8 mths; lost two weeks of work phoning every night, lost patience with the third one! The list of auto exemptions is crackers, too, all ppl who'd be great jurors!
Show PostI got called 3 times last year - I emailed the last one &said why I couldn't do it (holiday, caring for parents visits) and got a two-year reprieve from being called. I'd like to do it but being self-emp it's a nightmare of losing work. News journos used to get exemption easily for obvious reasons!
Show PostThis might explain why I get asked over and over again - about 10 times now!
Show PostCongratulations Martyn! Yet more deserved recognition for your excellent work.
