I had the call a yr or so ago, at the time I had 2 apprentices and sent a letter explaining that if the trial dragged on I would have no option but to lay off the apps as I couldn't afford to pay them etc etc
Seemed to do the trick as they sent a letter saying I was excused, but only deferred so I'll probably get another at some point
Didn't think I would be chosen as I have a bit of previous with the law:deal:
Seems they thought I was a reformed character (well they must have, they gave me licenses for all sorts of guns)
