Is that easy enough to follow without trying to be clever?
Absolute shit, really it is.
A hell of a lot of people were fined for that mistake, but what about at the start when we weren't even allowed to pay weekly? Or monthly? Or when they fucked up the text system?
A fine is a fine, but not allowing people any time to correct an honest mistake is pure bullshit.
Again yawn.
Such an easy argument to make. Anecdotal in fact.

Re the penalty charge, it's quite simple, don't drive in the clearly-signposted zone during the clearly-marked hours of operation. If you do, try to remember to pay the 2 pound extra charge sometime over the next day. If you can't do that, the 40 quid penalty is your own fault, and if you can't remember to pay it within 14 days, the 80 quid is a reasonable punishment for being so clueless.
'Yawn' is a crap argument, which is what all your arguments have been in this thread... not arguments at all in fact, just assertions. Same goes for Nick's, and it seems to be par for the course for those who dislike Livingstone. That's why he's been voted out - people don't have many very good reasons for it, but they have a vague sense that he's not to be trusted. Well, the result is, we've now got Boris Johnson, and if you think - bizarrely - that Livingstone was somehow working against the interests of the working classes, you're in for a bit of an awakening.
