Just the same as in the United States, there are some pretty strange British laws in effect. Some were introduced hundreds of years ago, and usually made sense, but today, they seem very odd indeed. Here are a few of them...
All English males over the age of 14 will carry out two hours of longbow practice each weekend.
In Scotland, it is illegal to be drunk in charge of a cow.
It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament.
It is treason to affix a postage stamp with the monarch's head upside down. It is also illegal to tear a stamp.
In the City of York, it is legal to kill a Scotsman - providing he is carrying a bow and arrow (except on Sundays).
It is legal for a man 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.
A baker cannot refuse to give a pregnant woman breadcrumbs.
In London, it is illegal to keep a pigsty in front of your house.
In London, it is illegal for taxi drivers to carry corpses or rabid dogs. Drivers must also ask passengers if they have the plague.
It is illegal for a Member of Parliament to enter the House of Commons while donning a full suit of armour.
You must possess a licence to keep or house a lunatic.
On that note...
