DO NOT leave her disappointed

Nicola Stone emailed with a simple message: 

"Give her wonderful hours of pleasure"

[Presumably Nicola, the link you invited me to open is a downloadable garden centre voucher?]

Notice to appear in court OZ#2769

Tuesday, 11 March 2014 10:26


Maybe I would have taken the "Notice to Appear" I received this morning from L.McNamara, a little more seriously, had he or she not sent it from a Yahoo email address. 

Call me an old cynic, but am thinking the Great British justice system can stretch to their own email extension. Bangtorights.co.uk or Youaregoingdownforalongstretchmylad.com. 


But no, they have chosen Yahoo.com to send the following notice: 


Hereby you are notified that you have been scheduled to appear for your hearing that will take place in the court of London in March 15, 2014 at 10:00 am.


[The court of London, eh?  You need to narrow it down a bit. Maybe an address would be handy? 

Otherwise I could find myself trotting along to the Royal Courts of Justice in Fleet Street, when you are all sitting twiddling your thumbs, waiting for me to arrive in Highbury Magistrates Court or The London Court of International Arbitration, or at the Rolls Building for the Technology and Construction Court.  


You see, L.McNamara, Clerk to the unspecified Court, unsurprisingly, there are quite a few judicial institutions littering our fair city, so you probably should have Googled them before sending your summons. Or in your case "Yahoo'd 'em.] 


[And unless I am much mistaken, March the 15th is a Saturday, so I'm afraid I have already scheduled a nice long lie-in and a trip to the garden centre, followed by a pub lunch, so am unable to attend]

Please bring all documents and witnesses relating to this case with you to Court on your hearing date. 


[I can print off a copy of your email if that helps?]

The copy of the court notice is attached to this letter. 

Please, read it thoroughly. 

[Um, that would be the dodgy looking .zip file you sent me?]

Note: If you do not attend the hearing the judge may hear the case in your absence. 

Yours truly, 
L.McNamara 
Clerk to the Court.

[GUILTY! Am sure of it. Whatever it is I am supposed to have done. Even my own Mother thinks I look a bit shifty.]
