Obscure laws and rules...

to follow on from the "riding whilst drunk" thread , and some of the strange offences that can be used, i got to thinking about some of the other stange rules and laws that exist.

i'll start you off...

up until i think it was 1987 , a London cab had to have a bail of hay in the boot to feed the horse (a reg from the old hanson cab days)

Tower bridge is concidered a marine vessel, and has a captain (it was the only way Lloyds would insure it, and revolves around nautical law)

there is an arcade in Piccadilly when you can be fined for whistling

over to you peeps.......

You can be stopped for being drunk in charge of a pram.

fella with red flag requuired to walk in front of al cars to warn other road users!!

you can shoot a welsh man with a cross bow if you see him on the eastern side of the river in Worcester!

I'm right, you're wrong. Always.

Pete

perspective is a wonderful thing...

You can kill a scotsman with a bow and arrow if you see them within the walls of the City of York

You can pee in a policeman's helmet if you're pregnant but not on the street...(something along those lines anyway....)

If you ride upto the gate of an RAF (forces base?) camp on a horse the Guard commander must look after it for you!
