From the Telegraph article...

A person may be excused jury service because of insufficient understanding of English, certain care responsibilities or religious beliefs

... well that should cover a multitude of excuses then. Just need a few Jehova's witnesses to knock on my door.

I know someone who used to work in the courts and jurors were referred to as jurons as anyone with any brains managed to get out of duty and only the thick or self important ones turned up.

Not since the rules changed under the Criminal Justice Act 2003. Nowadays you

People who are unable to sit at the time they have been summoned will be offered deferral to a more convenient time. Only those who prove they cannot serve at any time in the 12 months from the date they are summoned will be excused, and then only in exceptional circumstances. from Fewer now exempt from jury service - Telegraph

and yes they do enforce it. I was not expecting exemption only postponement until next summer.

A juror is facing arrest after he demanded £300 a day to sit on a trial. James Whittaker scrawled obscenities on his jury summons and said he would not attend unless he was given a £78,000 salary. Whittaker had been due to join other jurors at Southwark Crown Court trying cases over a two-week period at the court beginning on September 2 this year. But he ignored a further summons ordering him to explain himself or be held in contempt of court, and didn't bother to show up. Whittaker then repeatedly dodged letters including a summons hand delivered by bailiffs, after persuading a woman to pretend he no longer lived at his address in Hampstead Heath, northwest London. The runaway juror could now face up to two years in jail or an unlimited fine. - See more at: News and photo gallery of UK courts, court and professional disciplinary cases
