I got that £20 fine thing.

I refused to pay it, on the grounds that the ticket office from where I was coming from was closed and the ticket machines were broken down, and the point where they grabbed me, I was going to buy a ticket anyway.

I would have bought a ticket, but the inspectors or whatever they are refused to let me and gave me that.

It lays forever in the bottom of my bag, unpaid and ignored, and nothing ever happened over it.

Just ignore it, if they try and grab you, appeal against it. Of course, if you're a "kid" (read : Anyone under at least 25), you're CLEARLY going to be dishonest and skipping the fare, because nobody under 25 is ever responsible and mature enough to buy a ticket.

Well, I think if you explain to whoever you need to explain to before the letter comes, you'll be better off than them finding the letter.
Good luck, anyway!

Trains? *sniggers*

I'd tell them now, because if it does end up getting there and you never told them before you're more than likely going to be in bigger trouble than if they had known.

at least if you tell the truth and he doesn't believe you, you are right and he is wrong.

if you lie and he doesn't believe you, then that reinforces his belief that you are a liar.

liar.

I still don't understand why you didn't tell the train personnel the truth. You had your bag at the other station and it had your ticket in it. They would have found the bag and your ticket and everything would be okay. But for some reason you decided to lie about you contact information, which made you extremely suspicious when you were found out. You had no reason to lie and in doing so you made it worse for yourself.

I think this is a just punishment for your own stupidity.

At times like those I grab the conductor by the neck and throw him out the window. You don't have to pay, and neither does anyone else.

It's a win/win situation

In Norway they just throw us off the train at the next stop. Which is ok for me, since my usual destination is only one stop away anyway. Oh and this friend and I usually pretend like we're in a deep discussion or sometimes we sleep and the conductors ignore us. It's fun. :cool:

I see why you didn't tell the truth, the bag actually had a bomb in it!
You are a liar and a terrorist, you deserve at least 2 letters!

Me? I blow up trains all the time.

:lol: :lol: Thats what we should all be doing that'll teach em to ask us for money. Just make sure tho that before you throw the conducter out the window you take the money off him that he's already collected;) it would be criminal not to. Or you can just walk straight into the toilet cubicle as soon as you get on and stay in there til he's out of the way. And if he has the cheek to knock on the door drag him in and clean the toilet bowl with his head until you either arrive at your stop or he realises the error of his ways and does the decent thing and throws himself out of the window. I remember once I got on the train with my brother on the way home, id been on on my own on the way there but had been given two copies of my ticket so i just gave one to my brother. But the conducter checked the barcode and said "thats the same ticket"! and I said "well thats your error" He went off in a huff and said he'd be back but the next stop was ours so we got off he stuck his head out of the window and gave us dirty looks So we stood on the platform waving at him mockingly. Once i went on one of those minature railways I got on it just as it was pulling off and the guy driving it stopped it to come and bellow at me he said "you could have had us all off we could have come right off the tracks":mad2: I laughed :hahaha: and pointed out that considering i was walking faster than it was going somehow i don't think we'd have had any casualtys.

Don't worry about it. If they write to you ignore their letters. If they call you say you have no idea what their talking about, and that whoever that was on the train they must have given out your details to save themselves getting in any trouble.;) Just deny any knowledge of the whole thing.
