What should be Day 3..........

......and I am not back at The Bailey. Rang in yesterday as instructed and discover that all this week's cases are now assigned. So it's back on Monday when the whole lottery system starts again. I am disappointed to say the least. And not overly pleased that having arranged my work so carefully (with the help of my patient employers) it looks like I will still be juggling and losing money despite my best endeavours. We'll see. I'll know more on Monday.

But this is par for the course. My experience is not unusual. Just irritating.

So another day off. My friend, who wrote the piece summing up the workings of the law so brilliantly, says I can name him .... I'll just call him J. He's had first hand experience of the law - from the dock. So, unsurprisingly, he feels strongly about it:
" ...and you can use my name. You can also add the legal system in Norfolk is manned by c---s"

J never minces his words.
