Well, I can tell you that things haven't changed then.
My favourite part is when said customer gets nicked for something else and does a bit of "time" and I then get a letter to say that as he's paid £13 of my compo, and has spent time inside (for an unrelated matter) would I consider waving the remaining £37!
Tell them you would be quite willing to wave it, however he needs to pay up first.My favourite part is when said customer gets nicked for something else and does a bit of "time" and I then get a letter to say that as he's paid £13 of my compo, and has spent time inside (for an unrelated matter) would I consider waving the remaining £37!
Hmmm what if I was in the back of a builder's van and was cleaning out my tools and equipment for the day. I was swilling out a bucket with clean water. This was the second swilling and the water was clean an threw it out of the side loading door right onto a traffic warden was walking past.
There was no intent, no verbal abuse, no threatening langauge but similarly there was no grovelling apology. Just a shrug of the shoulders.

The majority will claim they are broke, so the poor little daps are allowed to pay in literally £1 instalments. Sometimes you'll get the "lump" sum in one go, but generally speaking its a quid a go.
You need to adopt the life assurance salesman's business model. Lots and lots of customers, all paying you a little bit each month. You'll be rich as Croesus in no time!(or perhaps not).

I considered it....but being punched in the nose on a daily basis lost its appeal after the first 5.(or perhaps not).

Won't you have to wear a blouse that goes see through when wet, and face a four letter tirade as well?
For £500 you can dress me how ever the hell you want, and shout as many words with as many letters as you want at me, (although don't expect me to understand the long ones)

Seems reasonable in the circumstances.
He describes himself as a public schooled gentleman though, surely that should get him off? 
with an apparent sense of entitlement, lends some credence to your suggestion. Disappointing that he didn't mention pleb though. Due to that omission he's just been crossed off Mr Mitchell's Christmas card list.

£400 compo seems excessive. I've been punched, kicked, head butted, spat at, numerous times...I don't think I've ever had more than £50!!
Indeed a lot of compensation for being a bit damp and shouted at. Guy though a complete spacktard for having a go against her in the street, go through the appeals procedure if you think you've been wrongly ticketed.KungFuPanda said:

Different scenario, he got what he deserved in my opinion, if you did that what you would be is downright ignorant for not apologising.There was no intent, no verbal abuse, no threatening langauge but similarly there was no grovelling apology. Just a shrug of the shoulders.
