I wonder whether you considered giving them false details?
I told one my taped up bike was made by Dolce & Gabbana once and they took it down. Not quite sure whether I'd get off the hook if I stood up in court and pointed out that I wouldn't actually wear D&G.;
I got nicked at the same spot last May, I was carrying an accounts bosses credit card they'd left in a restaurant, in the same pocket of my bag as my own ID. How tempting was that.
Also lost the ticket and then the reminder and finally paid the bailiffs £95 last week, doh, doh and doh again.
Is it time to bring up Time Out's totally made up Bill quote again?
"To my fellow cyclists who have, I say, ‘If you’re not paying enough attention to spot the cops, you’re not paying enough attention to jump the light.’"
