I got a 30 quid fixed penalty and a lecture from some twat last night. I safely slipped through the red lights on whitechapel road after checking there were no peds then busted the left which leads to brick lane. Tootled down there and then turned left down the road which leads to the back of the old brewery (which was a no entry) into 14 bikes. Bumped into crazy James and some friends, including some peeps from the southeast drinks including the chap with the impressive tache. Have a look around in 14, almost buy a mini d but realise they are a fiver cheaper in blb so head down there. I back track back brick lane and continue down it. I then become aware of a large vehicle hovering behind me, so being the considerate chap that I am, pull over to let it pass. At which point I hear "would you mind getting off the bike sir?" bollocks.
I tried to deny it was me (as they had not been with me continuously) at which point he threatened to rewind the tape so I just went with the flow. He then asked me my name and I said "err, Joe Smith" at which point he gave me a very suspicious look. Had to get my work pass out to prove I really did have a comedy name!
I think I am just gonna pay it, unless anyone knows of any loop holes??
