Top ten bizarre UK Laws:

1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament.

2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British king or queen's image upside-down.

3. It is illegal for a woman to be topless in Liverpool except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.

4. Eating mince pies on Christmas Day is banned.

5. If someone knocks on your door in Scotland and requires the use of your toilet, you are required to let them enter.

6. In the UK a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet.

7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen.

8. It is illegal not to tell the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing.

9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament wearing a suit of armour.

10. It is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls of York, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow.
 
Heehee... I might try out that pregnant woman one for a giggle :rotfl:
 
I'll have to cancel my topless trip to Liverpool now :doh:

and wtf with the mince pies? Thats the only time to eat them!
 
:rotfl: :rotfl:
I knew about the pregnant women one but you can be topless in a fish store?! WTF?! hahahaha :lol:
 
:rotfl: I put a stamp on an envelope the wrong way the other day. I've also eaten lots of mince pies on xmas day :lol:

What would happen if someone did for example kill a scotsman in york because they were carrying a bow and arrow? Would they get off because of this old law? :think:
 
3. It is illegal for a woman to be topless in Liverpool except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.

LMAO! :rotfl: :rotfl:
