• My only RLJ discussion with an overseer:

    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.
