I sat on 3 Jury Trials, at Chester Crown Court, when I lived in Chester, between 1994-1996.

I was foreman once, too.

I was called for jury duty when I was 18 - I think people were astonished at my age when I showed up. :)

No, I can't. Doesn't look like a real word to me. "Miss-tree-y'all"? Is that Texan slang?

"What's that strange light in the sky?"

"Ah don't know! It's a miss-tree y'all"
