Not to worry. Again, I wasn't asking for forgiveness or a miracle answer - just advice.
Thanks Ferret and all.

jonmorris. I was not asking for your or anyone elses sympathy.
I know and accept that I committed fraud. I just wanted some advice on...
Yes I have heard of first impressions. Have you ever heard of not judging a book by its cover?
I am aware that peoples impressions of me were going to be bad considering what I was saying. But I wasn't coming here to ask for forgiveness - just advice.
I just wanted some advice is all.
I know I've done wrong, will try not to do so again, and am generally sorry and dissapointed in myself.
Thank you for all of the help and advice.
Apologies to anyone I have insulted with my story and actions.
It seems that you have looked at my postings, generalised and concentrated purely on the part where I have done wrong and antagonised the situation.
Apart from the fact I have not paid for a train journey and purposefully tried to avoid it, you know nothing about me but still feel it is okay...
You are honestly saying that an excuse is the same as a reason?
I am more than happy to accept the consequences and if I ever leave or have to leave my current job (I have been working since the age of 14 as your tone seems to suggest otherwise) I am sure this will result in hardships gaining...
I have come here to ask advice on a fraudulent activity I have admitted to.
Why am I being generalised as someone who is seeking sympathy.
I havn't used my mental health condition as an 'excuse'. I am offering it as a possible reason for part of my actions -certainly not my actions in...
You're right, I did underestimate the seriousness and will not do so again.
If I stole a £27 pound bottle of whisky from a shop (if it was my first time) I would expect a warning, paying for or replacing ther goods and something like hours community service.
I have not once given 'an excuse' for my wrong actions. I have mentioned possible reasons which may have effected my poor decisions, but not once have I tried to make an excuse for my actions.
I am insulted to be a part of your generalisation and if you havn't got anything productive to add...
Because I genuinely didn't think of it as fraud within my premeditation of doing it. Obviously this was wrong and an error, but I didn't think of the gravity or consequences.
I was aware he was questioning me and taking evidence but wasn't really given time to, or made aware of the fact that I could give a reason for mitigating circumstances.
Although it is no excuse, it is, or would be worth mentioning I recently had to take time off work for mental health...
Is there not a chance that I will be let off with a caution as I have not committed an offence before?
What do you mean by a 'hefty' fine?
I didn't say anything to the inspector apart from answering all of his questions, mainly regarding 'did I know what I was doing'.
Hi,
I travel to and from work with a weekly bus and train pass.
Without giving any excuses, I tampered with my latest weekly ticket by changing the expiry date on it.
I was caught out, questioned and read my rights.
No doubt I will be prosecuted for this silly action but could anyone...
