A month or so ago, Lady BMcH, young Sprocket, and I went to see Lady BMcH's venerable elders; t
his involved the Dartford crossing, twice.
What I forgot was that when I prepaid for a load of crossings that was on the last hire car that work gave me.
What I then forgot was to pay for the crossings in time, and I was an hour late phoning in to pay it when I finally did remember.
So instead of a fiver for two crossings, because they send the notices for each direction out 10 days apart, it's £90.
£2.50 for the first crossing, plus a £25 admin fee from the hire car company, and £2.50 for the second crossing, plus a £35 fine, plus another £25 admin fee.
Ouchies. And to make it worse it's entirely my own fault. Feel free to mock me.

Actually, I got caught when I registered my new car. I put the wrong registration number on the system, and despite having mailed them, they ignored the e-mail. I had to pay £2.25 instead of the usual £1.76. I wasn't about to argue.
Paid for a full day in the pay and display car park by the station, I was in a rush at 6.30am so didn't notice that of the £3 I put in that 10p was rejected. I happily put the ticket on the windscreen. I got back at 6pm to find a £25 parking ticket as my £2.90 had expired at 11am !
I also lost my prescription sunglasses on the Metrolink too that day.
