Stupid English Laws
Yes, there are a few…
Sent to us by one of our readers, here’s some you’re unlikely to need in practice:
1. Any Chav with more than 5 ASBOs must return home by 8 pm each evening.
For their tea. Fair enough.
2. Committing suicide is classified as a capital offense.
Touché.
3. Freemen of the city of London (Those who have had the honor of the freedom of the city bestowed upon them) have the right to herd their cattle on any of London”s bridges.
And feel like hitting the 6 O’Clock news.
4. If a steam locomotive is driven on roads, a man must walk in front of the vehicle with a red flag during the day and a red lantern at night to warn passers-by.
Job creation for the coalition. Just hand out red flags with P45s.
5. Interfering with the mail or sleeping with the consort of the Queen is classed as treason, and as such, carries the death penalty.
Anyone see Panorama on the Royal Mail?
6. It is a treasonable offense to make any suggestions that the Monarchy were in any way involved in the death of Princess Diana.
Before anyone mentions Al Fayed, he hasn’t betrayed his sovereign or nation – he doesn’t have a British passport.
7. It is an offense to fall off the top of Blackpool Tower under any circumstances.
Particularly if you’re drunk and it’s a stag do.
8. It is illegal for two adult men to have sex in the presence of a third person.
Exhibitionism’s out then.
9. It’s illegal to have sex under Brighton pier while Morris Dancing.
Along with eccentricity.
10. You may only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight.
And Welsh people in Chester.
Disclaimer: we make no claim about the veracity of any of the above.
