Karen Henshaw, a magistrate in Blackpool burst into song to show her disappointment about being forced to retire at the age of 70. Here's the song Karen sung: "For years a magistrate I have been Had justice done and justice seen Bat alas, I'm getting on the years have flown somehow. And it seems this old JP is not wanted now. Nobody wants a JP when she's 70 Nobody wants a JP when she's old She may still have her faculties but that is not enough They like their bit of justice from a younger bit of stuff When once your big brown eyes have lost their glitter And you voice has turned from gruff instead of bold Your JP's days are ending when your hands have started bending Nobody wants a JP when she's old. For years I have sat on this Bench I've sentenced man and sentenced wench I can't do all I did, I am satisfied because I would rather be a has been than a never was."
