Subject: RE: BS: Which is the silliest British law?
Under British Law ----

It is still legal to shoot a Scotsman on sight in the Isle of Man.

You may purchase a pornographic magazine from a bookshop on a Sunday, but NOT a Bible !!

Similarly, it is a criminal offence to buy chips ( fries) from a CHIP shop on Sunday, but you may buy them from a Chinese restaurant take-away.

The Union Flag , or "Union Jack ", can only LEGALLY be flown from a Royal Fort, or the Jackstaff of a British warship in harbour or at anchor. So, you might see one at Windsor Castle, but not Buckingham Palace, as it"s not a "Royal Fort" !!

It is still against the law to discharge a Steam Trumpet on a Sunday in Scotland ( Luckily ).

And---- A man cannot LEGALLY have anal intercourse with his WIFE, but he CAN with her brother , or indeed any other man !!
( Couldn"t care less, I"m not married !! ).
