It's all too true :)

"The Law Commission is responsible for sifting out ageing laws in an attempt to bring the system up to date, but a few bizarre rules have managed to stay in place. Every year around 3,000 pages are added to the law books so it's no wonder a few slip below the radar. We wouldn't expect people to worry too much about most of these laws – though any Welsh person visiting Hereford or Chester may want to keep their wits about them on Sunday!"

John Collins and Partners top ten weird laws are:

In Hereford you can shoot a Welsh person all day on a Sunday, with a Longbow, in the Cathedral Close.

It is legal for a male to urinate in public, as long it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle.

A bed may not be hung out of a window.

It is illegal for a lady to eat chocolates on a public conveyance.

It is illegal to be drunk on Licensed Premises.

Taxi drivers are required to ask all passengers if they have smallpox or the plague.

Any person found breaking a boiled egg at the sharp end will be sentenced to 24 hours in the village stocks (enacted by Edward VI).

Any boy under the age of 10 may not see a naked mannequin.

Throughout the whole of England it is illegal to eat mince pies on the 25th of December.

You can shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow in Chester, inside the city walls and after midnight.

Repeal bills are passed by Parliament every few years, each one getting rid of hundreds of pages of law.
