Got home from work tonight and there was a letter from the rozzers advising me that my car had been caught driving away from a local petrol station on Monday without paying. At first I thought it was fraud,but then remembered that I had worked till 9pm Monday and was late picking my daughter up from Scouts. I remember the car was on fumes so I’d dashed to the garage. I coudn’t actually remember paying, so It was more than likely me.
I phoned them and owned up. The woman answering the phone told me it was a refreshing change to hear such honesty and that I should go and pay. So I did. The bloke in the garage had a bit of a go as he’d been bollocked for it, but he was fine about it in the end. The bloke behind me in the queue wasn’t though, he had massive arse while the paperwork was done.
I’m glad that some benefit of the doubt exists as I guess I could be sat here with a criminal record instead.
