Default Crazy Legal Laws

Continuing from the shoutbox here is a list of some OFFICIAL British laws.


IT is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament. We’re not sure what the punishment for this particular offence would be.

IN a law passed in 1837, women are allowed to bite off a man’s nose if he kisses her against her will.

It is illegal to stand within one hundred yards of the reigning monarch when not wearing socks.

Welshmen are banned from entering the city of Chester before sunrise and from staying after sunset.

A law enacted by Edward VI states that anyone found breaking a boiled egg at the sharp end will be sentenced to 24 hours in the village stocks.

In Hereford, you may not shoot a Welsh person on Sunday with a longbow in the Cathedral Close.
