Call It A Knight
She said the staff member who looked at the photo “burst out laughing.” The fine was canceled, everyone involved got a giggle out of it, and the next time the Knights go to Bath, they may take the train.

Sentricon
David and Paula Knight of Surrey, England, were con- fused when they opened a let- ter informing them of a traffic violation and fine that took place in June in Bath. The let- ter, which detailed a bus lane violation and included a pho- to of the offender, was gener- ated by a traffic camera that captured a woman walking in a bus lane, wearing a shirt that said KNITTER. The Knights’ vehicle tag reads KNI9 TER, a reference to David’s nick- name, Knighter.
Folks in Plouneventer, France, were perplexed on Oct. 11 when they woke up to find a van perched atop a bus stop shelter, Oddity Central reported. Police were sum- moned, the van was removed and the owner identified — but the mystery remained, with theories involving alco- hol and performance art.
Mola’s unpublished novel The Beast won 1 million eu- ros with the prize. Mola had been described as a female university professor living in Madrid who uses a pseud- onym, People.com reported, but after the reveal, Diaz said, “We are three friends who one day four years ago decided to combine our talent to tell a story.”
The victim was picking up her grandson from a nearby home and parked in front of the Gazis property, where Ga- zis’ wife and children started yelling at her before James hurled the gourd at the car. When the woman lowered her window to say “’You’ve got to be kidding me,’ ... he took the second pumpkin, threw it (and) hit her in the face,” said the victim’s son, James Moore.
“We thought one of our friends was stitching us up,” Paula told the BBC, but they finally contacted authorities to straighten out the incident.
Finally, three days later, the truth came out: The prank was part of a “commercial dispute” between the van’s owner and the perpetrator, who used a pallet truck to hoist the car onto the bus shelter. The latter may face charges of endangerment.
Some have called the trio “scammers,” but Mercero was having none of it, argu- ing, “We didn’t hide behind a woman, we hid behind a name.”
Moore and Gazis, 40, tussled; Gazis was charged with aggravated assault, and Moore is facing a simple as- sault charge.
