    Just for Madduck !

    If someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your commode, you must let them enter.

    It is legal for a male to urinate in public, as long as it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle.

    All English males over the age of 14 are to carry out 2 hours of Longbow practice a week supervised by the local clergy.

    No boy under the age of 12 may see a naked shop mannequin.

    No one is allowed to die in Parliament. Well except the Queen. Westminster is a royal palace and anyone dying in a royal palace is eligible for a state funeral. So to avoid a costly funeral, if anyone does die, his or her body is removed before the death certificate is issued.

    In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless in public except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.

    In Bristol lovers are not allowed to kick a dog out of bed as apparently a dog – but not a cat - has the right to be a voyeur.

    London taxi drivers are supposed to ask passengers if they are suffering from smallpox or the plague, since carrying sufferers is illegal.

    A law introduced in 1307 ensures that the head of any dead whale found on the British coast becomes the property of the king and the tail belongs to the queen - should she need the bones for her corset.

    It is illegal to wear armour in the Houses of Parliament

    It is still an offence to beat or shake any carpet rug or mat in any street in the Metropolitan Police District, although you are allowed to shake a doormat before 8am.

    And finally, possibly the silliest of them all: it is illegal to be drunk on Licensed Premises ie. in a pub or bar. I think someone’s missing the point.

    There are a few other silly laws:

    -At 12.00 midday or after in liverpool your allowed to shoot a welshmen with a bow and arrow and get away with it.
    -In Chester it is legal to shoot a Welshmen with a bow and arrow after midnight inside the city walls

    So many anti-Wales sentiments
