I'm not too sure. I really didn't like pe at school which was one of my primary experiences with sport. Perhaps negative experiences there put me off? I'm also a sore loser, so competition is something I actively avoid.

Why did you stop playing sports?

I used to 'forget' my pe kit in school and took detention. Never really played sport and never had any desire to.

What was your experience of jury service?

Massive waste of time. Got a case that somehow made it to court with no evidence. The 'victim' was a serial liar who spent about 4 days giving evidence when it should have taken 1. The problem with the case overload that we supposedly need to get rid of juries for, is down to the quality of the cases making it to court in the first place.
