    It is a pity that you did not write to confirm what they said. Now the only proof you have of the original transaction was the tapes that are in TfL's possession.

    Indeed with anything legal it is always worth having a written copy of what was said - even to the extent of having the letters delivered registered post - thereby ensuring that there is a paper trail showing actual delivery.

    I'm reliably informed that, when it comes to these modern surveillance systems and computer databases, those that have done nothing wrong have nothing to worry about. Therefore, you should just stop moaning and pay up as you clearly must have done something wrong.

    Ooooh, bitch!

    Btw, any idiot can sire offspring, it takes brains to abstain.

    Didnt TFL come in for some particularly harsh criticism recently relating to how hard it was to get anything through appeal?

    When you do go to court make sure you claim costs for your day off work (being an expensive contracator and all that) and everything else you can weasel in!
