I had to swear on a  bible to tell the truth etc. Didn't bother me in the slightest; it's their house, their rules. It's merely tradition. To be honest, I was far more preoccupied with the whole situation as it was than with some pettyfogging theatre.

Probably could have said it to the clerk that you didn't believe in swearing on the bible. Courts in Ireland or the UK are legally obliged to take affirmations when the person says they cannot swear on a holy book (for whatever reason).
