The answer is that the second statement was false. I actually starred in a radio commercial for a local youth club back in 1985.
The phrase "Oh, no! Now we're in for it!" will be forever etched on my memory, despite rigorous attempts to wipe that bit clean.
The facts behind the other two statements are as follows:
1. I once got caught speeding on a pushbike.
I was speed trapped in a 30mph zone cycling at 42mph. The officer who pulled up beside me when I eventually stopped to light a ciggie said that by rights he should at least give me a caution for "pedalling furiously", but instead asked what kind of gears I had fitted to the bike.
3. I have been slandered as being a murderer.
I was spotting for a fellow pupil during a trampoline lesson at school when he decided to try to do a backward somersault and failed, almost breaking his neck as he rolled off the trampoline toward me. It's amazing how many people WHO WERE NOT THERE swore blind that I jumped out of the way, rather than try to soften his fall.
I know I jumped towards him, he knows I jumped towards him and so did the teacher who was standing just a few feet away, yet still I was labelled a "murderer".
