Another unhelpful sign... Part 3

Maximum fine: £1000.

Maximum fine. I'm sorry, but that's not a threat. You're saying that there is a possibility that, should I light a cigarette, I will be fined £1000. I have no possible way of knowing what the odds are that this event will occur. You've given me no indication of probability. But what is definitely true is that you have not stated the minimum fine. Therefore it is safe to conclude that the minimum fine could be nothing. Zero. Or seven pence. It's almost worth the gamble of smoking on the bus, just to see what happens. And I don't even smoke.

This is how bored I was on the 36 the other night.
