I understand your situation and you probably are genuine, but consider this
for a moment. As suggested above, it would be surprising if a determined
fare dodger were to say "its a fair cop guv - I have been deliberately
defrauding TfL for a long time, thank you for catching me". It would be
rather more likely that he or she will give some sort of reason, perhaps
like the one you gave, to make it seem that he or he had simply failed to
pay a fare that day, rather than travelling free on a regular basis. Exactly
how, objectively, do you differentiate between a persistent fare dodger and
someone such as yourself in those circumstances?

This I understand. But I showed to the inspector a pack of travel
cards for each of the previous days. I have them here in front of me:
Day travel cards for January 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, week travel card up to
31 Jnr, and now travel card for 1 FBY (for which I paid extra 50p). I
also have here the card I bought on 2 FBY. I had these cards in my
wallet at the time, as they get accumulated there, and then I put them
on a shelve here (luckily, I have not thrown them away yet!). So, how
could the inspector not see this? Well, acually, I thought he did see
them and he simply decided to let me go. What I did not realise is
that they take your address to send you £100 fine. And this is really
disguisting.
