Messy Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I was doing client visits yesterday in pubs and i stated early at one and as she wasnt open i was dying for the loo and politel asked if i could use hers. She then told me that it was illegal for her to refuse a pregnant woman to use the toilet and she then said did i know that if i couldnt find a toilet anywhere and i passed a policeman in the street then it was law that i could ask him to use his helmet to urinate in i didnt believe her so i checked on the internet and apparently it is an old law. im considering doing this for a bethere are some other old laws that are stupid that i found when i looked Most ridiculous British law:1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (27 percent)2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarchupside-down (seven percent)3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in atropical fish store (six percent)4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day (five percent)5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of yourtoilet, you must let them enter (four percent)6. A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including ina policeman's helmet (four percent)7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomesthe property of the king, and the tail of the queen (3.5 percent)8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him toknow, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing (threepercent)9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour (threepercent)10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient citywalls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow (two percent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
