No criminal record.

• they had at any time been convicted and sentenced to a period of imprisonment of five years or more, or
• they had within the last 10 years served a period of imprisonment or detention, received a suspended sentence of imprisonment or detention, or received a community service order, or
• they had within the last five years been placed on probation

Neither of us have a criminal record!  We've moved around the country a fair bit but always made sure we got on the electoral register wherever we lived. 

 I'm sure we'd find jury service interesting - we're both reasonably well-educated, have a lot of life experience, and being retired we have plenty of free time.  I've heard a rumour that people with a history of left-wing activity are less likely to be chosen.  We've both been active in our respective trade unions in our time, and also used to be active in the Labour Party (until Blair took us into the Iraq War.)  Am I being paranoid, or could Big Brother be watching us?!

I was just called for Jury service.  I turned up wearing a suit (I was the only one), and I can scowl for Wales

I was soon told that i would not be required.  My Jury Service lasted all of two hours.

That's so true. I turned up all smart and everyone else was casual.

I like your style. By instinct I would be casual but in the intetrests of not reaching the final 12 - wear a  black suit, best scowl on and I thought perhaps a copy of the Daily Mail might be a nice touch? 

Thats the uniform I shall wear if called. Home in no time!
