Medieval banquet re-enactment organiser and court jester Colin Effigy, appeared in Stevenage magistrates court today for non-payment of parking fines.
He protested that he should not pay fines for parking a hobby horse on double yellow lines! He danced around the dock in costume, quoting cryptic verse, riddles and rhyme, shaking his rattle in the magistrates face.
Magistrate Brian Eno was not amused and adjourned procedings; but not before charging Effigy with contempt of court and fining him £400 plus costs!
Effigy is said to be depressed, his wife Enid said "its a refreshing change!"
