PoPo: Do you know what a red light means?
Me: Yes.
PoPo: Do you think it's safe to cycle through a pedestrian crossing while they are crossing.
Me: Not particularly, but they had a red light and I went as soon as my light changed to green. They shouldn't be crossing the road when their light is on red should they?
PoPo: No, they shouldn't, but it's very busy and they are trying to get to work.
Me: So am I, but I don't cross junctions on a red light to get there quicker. I've learnt my lesson, I'm sorry for your trouble.
PoPo: Don't let me catch you going through a red light again.
Me: You haven't, but I'll bear that in mind. Thank you officer.
My only interaction with mounted PoPo after an RLJ, Bishopsgate (she looked REALLY MAD):
PoPo: So you're *not *wearing a helmet and I just saw you skip that red light.
Me: Guh guh guh guh guh. I guh. I guh. I'm sorry.
PoPo: You've got headphones there too, I see. Do you always wear them while riding?
Me: Huh huh huh huh huh. Fffffffuck. Sorry.
PoPo: Good for keeping the noise out. Anyway, it's a fine just for the lack of a front light and skipping the red light.
Me: I ca I ca I ca ca ca. Oh Jesus.
PoPo: Are you OK?
Me: Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh. Huh.
PoPo: Er... go on then. This time. Be careful. Walk your bike to the Tube please.
Me: Chhhhhhhhhhhhhhheers then.

Sometimes a speech impediment comes in handy.
