:nono: I would take my role as juror very seriously. I'd look carefully at the evidence, weigh all the probabilities and then, when you opened your mouth and revealed your social class, I would decide you were guilty.

Ditto if you were guilty as sin Herbert !

Sir C has already done jury service
Kept nodding off for 40 winks :hehe:
