Yesterday I received a letter from Bath.
Although we just visited Bath a couple of weeks ago, I can't say I know anybody in Bath.
And I couldn't recall any excessive flirting taking place so it couldn't have been a love letter...
I have committed a crime!
Apparently, I have driven the car into a bus lane and been caught on camera. The letter contained a couple of pictures of me committing the crime (well, you don't see me - only the car) to prove it and yes, I do remember that strange little road in the middle of a crossing...
We had just driven into Bath and were looking for a place to park the car to go explore the city. Looking around trying to get to grips with the layout of the town, I never noticed this little slip of the road was a bus lane...
I have had my driver's licence for close to 29 years (shows my age, doesn't it) and have for the first time in my life received a fine (parking tickets don't count...).
The fine is for £60...
BUT
if I pay within 14 days it is reduced to £30...
I thought that was nice: a fine with a discount.
A real bargain, if you ask me!
;-)
Kära Mette,
ReplyDeleteBath är verkligen inte världens bästa ställe att köra bil i, och är man inte bekant med staden är det minsann inte det lättaste att hålla koll på bussfiler etc. Men visst är de trevliga här i UK, det där med att man får "discount" om man betalar i tid...!
Hoppas du har det gått i vårsolen. Hemma i Skandinavieh hade de ju nyligen "bakslag" med snö och kyla, så jag njuter extra mycket av att bo i ett vårvarmt land just nu.
Tack för dina snälla ord!
Varma hälsningar, Helena
Ja, jammen litt av en handel du gjorde der, 50% avslag liker vi jo ;)...
ReplyDeleteDårlig merket?
ReplyDeleteOg hvorfor kamera?
Hvis det hadde vært godt nok merket eller helt unaturlig å kjøre der ville det heller ikke noen å ta bilder av og ingen grunn til å sette opp kamera.
Men - rabatt på en bot har jeg aldri hørt om før.
Du skriver fantastisk, og selv en bot blir en god historie :)
ReplyDeleteRabatter er jo som å tjene penger - så du får se sånn på det..
God helg-klem fra Tove
