Friday, January 09, 2009

London Mayor Boris Johnson was fined £60 after forgetting to pay the London Congestion Charge.

The Conservative mayor, who champions cycling as a way of getting around the capital, forgot to pay the charge after driving to Trafalgar Square to light a Christmas decoration.

Johnson yesterday admitted to receiving the penalty after being questioned by a presenter during a radio show.
