I have just been surfing the net and I found these really strange laws that I thought I should share with you all. Some of them are hilarious!
All of these laws apply to England!
With the exception of carrots, most goods may not be sold on Sunday.
All English males over the age 14 are to carry out 2 or so hours of longbow practice a week supervised by the local clergy.
London Hackney Carriages (taxis/cabs) must carry a bale of hay and a sack of oats.
It is illegal to be drunk on Licensed Premises (in a pub or bar).
It is illegal for two adult men to have sex in the same house as a third person.
Any person found breaking a boiled egg at the sharp end will be sentenced to 24 hours in the village stocks (enacted by Edward VI).
Chelsea Pensioners may not be impersonated.
A bed may not be hung out of a window.
Mince pies can not be eaten on Christmas day.
Any boy under the agre of 10 may not see a naked manequin.
It is legal for a male to urinate in public, as long it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle.
Placing a postage stamp that bears the Queen (or King) upside down is considered treason.
You can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city of Chester walls and after midnight.
You may not shoot a Welsh person on Sunday with a longbow in the Cathedral Close in Hereford.
In York excluding Sundays, it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow.
I know that some of you may have heard these laws, but for those that havent enjoy!
