Weird laws in England, Laws are supposed to be rooted in logic and yet some of the strangest seem to have been written without a drop of it. Who gets to write some of these bizarre laws and the stories behind them must be absolutely fascinating. Did you know that it’s illegal to whistle underwater in Vermont? I wonder how anyone gets caught and I’m especially curious as to what the punishment is…
Weird Laws in England
Every country has their own set of weird laws, and England is no exception. Consider some of these bizarre English laws:
Eating mince pies on Christmas Day is illegal throughout England.
If a postage stamp with the Queens head on is placed upside down it is counted as Treason, which still carries the death penalty.
In York it is still legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow, on all days except Sundays.
It is very illegal to stand within one hundred yards of a ruling Monarch if you are not wearing any socks.
It is illegal for an MP to enter Parliament, wearing a suit of armor.
Interestingly enough it is illegal to die within the houses of Parliament.
The law allows any pregnant women to relieve themselves in public.
It is illegal to wrestle an untrained bull in public.
It is against the law to allow your pet to get it on with any pet of the Royal House.
