Most ridiculous British law:
1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (27 percent)
If you are dead what are they going to do to you ? And who can control where they die
2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down (seven percent)
Treason seriously Treason it is a stamp I don't pay attention when I put one on as long as it is on there
3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store (six percent) WHAT?
4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day (five percent)
Are you kidding why can't you eat what you want in your home when you want
5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter (four percent)
I would have to go to jail because I don't let strangers in my house in this day and age they can kill you or rob you. I have not let people in my house who knocked on my door asking to use the phone because their car broke down. Sorry I see the news not getting in my house
6. A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet (four percent)
Ok not a woman but I saw how my wife had to pee when she was I kind of like this one
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 percent)
Again What
8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing (three percent)
9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour (three percent)
WHY?
10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow (two percent
So it is ok to murder him out side the ancient city walls. If I were a Scotsman I would not got York ever
