Bizzare laws

Here are some of the bizarre laws in britain. I came across them when I was doing some serious browsing.

  • It is illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas day
  • Dying in the Houses of Parliament is a criminal offence
  • Sticking a postage stamp upside down is an act of treason if it bears the monarch’s image
  • Being topless in Liverpool is illegal unless you are female and work in a tropical fish store
  • In Scotland it is an offence to prevent someone entering your house if they ask to use the toilet
  • In the UK, a pregnant woman can urinate anywhere she likes, including in a policeman’s helmet
  • If a sturgeon is washed onto the beach it becomes the property of the King
  • It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament whilst wearing armour
  • Within the city of York you may legally murder a Scotsman if he carries a bow and arrows
