Musings and Snippets from a recently retired JP. I served for 31 years, mostly in west London. I was Chairman of my Bench for some years, and a member of the National Bench Chairmen's Forum All cases are based on real ones, but anonymised and composited. All opinions are those of one or more individuals. JPs swear to enforce the law of the land, whether or not they approve of it. Nothing on here constitutes legal advice.

Phew!
I was alarmed to see a news site headline:-
OLD MAGS ARE HEALTH RISK
and relieved to see that thiswas the story it linked to.
On my way to court I pass a shop with a large sign advertising Adult Mags. I am not sure if that is where I am supposed to go or where replacement colleagues are to be found.
In my experience it is young mags (in the sense BS feared was meant) who are the worse risk. See what a quite young one has just decreed:
At this rate we're going to have only those who have nothing to loose to make themselves available for posts of some responsibility. Why should honest and able people want to submit to such treatment? But this never seems to bother our brilliant and learned young judges. It is not, after all, their task to manage things before, they can be content with assessing the blame after. O mia patria, sì bella e perduta!
Posts are pre-moderated. Please bear with us if this takes a little time, but the number of bores and obsessives was getting out of hand, as were the fake comments advertising rubbish.

ReplyDeleteIn which case, what are 'Top Shelf Mags'?
ReplyDeleteOld time gear head here. I though this was about magnetos.
ReplyDeleteThe whole Legal 'system' might have problems if all paperwork that had been handled by several people had to be destroyed after a week.

Sorry, the link was cut away; it was to the Telegraph article about the judgment on the l'Aquila earthquake.
