Welcome to a special episode of Private Parts. This is still the podcast where nothing's off

limits, but today we are joined by my glorious father, yet again, Kevin Bentley, who we are going

to be discussing what has been going on in his life, influencing current trends or not trends, the daily morning routine, which I'm imagining yours involves just a singing and a coffee.

Mine is the shedding. So yes, welcome back Kev.

Yay!

Right. To begin with, Kev's had quite the week because you have been doing jury duty. Two weeks. Can you firstly explain how you got the call up? So originally it was where we used to live and that's a year ago. Just out of curiosity, how do you actually get the call up? Because I've never been... You don't, you get a letter.

So, no, they track you down.

And so I got this letter and it... The date I was given at that point was... You were a holiday. We were away. So I got out of it and then we moved And I thought well that's the last I hear of that

And then got another letter

And this time it had six months warning so there was no way I could sort of

say you know I'm going to be a way at that time as well so the bottom line was there was a date

given and and it was quite a severe letter saying you know you have you have to attend. And so it was in the court in, well, I can't really say where, but anyway, nearby.

And short of saying that one had to have, you know, an emergency colonoscopy or something,

you just can't get out of it. You know, you really

can't. What happens if you just don't show up? No, the police will come and find you. Really?

Oh yeah. It's, I mean, it's a very serious matter. The other thing that was totally fascinating

about all of this is that when you get there, there are 16 people, you know, in your jury, of which they then get rid of four.

And so there are then 12 that go through into...
