OK, please forgive me, as I'm not from the UK.

Now, let me get this straight... a kid threw a 1 pound coin at a city bus door, and he was not only arrested for it but was fined 335 pounds? What did he do; break the window on the bus door or something?

A Pound coin is quite a chunk of metal. Imagine four Quarters taped together and then throw that at a moving vehicle. However I can't help to think that if you did do this in the States, you would be charged with attempted murder and threatened with 20 to life :-/

Matt,

To be honest... if you threw something like that at a moving vehicle here in the States someone would probably say to you, "Well, that was a waste of a dollar!"

Of course, where I grew up the kids loved to throw dirt clods at cars in the Summer, and snowballs in the Winter. So, go figure...

I just thought it was a pretty stiff penalty. Now just wait a couple of years... someone like me could go to jail because I don't have Health Insurance!! LOL

Those were the days  8-)
