In addition to supplementing its income, as reported by Mr Rozenberg, by the sale of "panini's" (sic!) and teddy bears - and, indeed, of coloured postcard-size photographs of the assembled Justices in their ceremonial robes - the Supreme Court website invites the organisers of dinners and receptions to contact the Supreme Court 'Events Co-ordinator' to enquire about hiring its 'highly prestigious setting' with 'eye-catching features'. But why stop there? What about children's parties and teenage discos, even if this means that future aspiring Justices may be required to be skilled at being conjurors, puppeteers or disc-jockeys? It would, of course, be silly to suggest that Justices, whether individually or in banc, be hired out as Aunt Sallies.
