Stupid UK laws

2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British king or queen's image upside-down (7%)
3. It is illegal for a woman to be topless in Liverpool except as a clerk in a tropical fish store (6%)
4. Eating mince pies on Christmas Day is banned (5%)
5. If someone knocks on your door in Scotland and requires the use of your toilet, you are required to let them enter (4%)
6. In the UK a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet (4%)
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 (3.5%)
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 (3%)
9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament wearing a suit of armour (3%)
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 (2%)

Nope :P And if they are, they certainly not topless. I'll keep it in mind though if I ever see a tropical fish shop with a nice chick inside.

LoL...  Rightly said David, I doubt about these laws being even real... Only the 2nd & the 9th one appear to be somewhat sensible to me... The rest of them... LoL... I bow my head to the one who ever wrote them  [he must have been a good sort of a comedian] LoL... I can't just stop LoL....
I hope this wil be added sooner : "Too much of LoL is ILLEGAL"... LOL...
Truly appreciated Thomas, I dunno where you get such information from.. anyways, you've made my day, err, night...
