The mince pie law

Among the most ridiculous laws listed by UKTV Gold were:

  • It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (27%)
  • It could be regarded an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British king or queen’s image upside-down (7%)
  • Eating mince pies on Christmas Day is banned (5%)
  • In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants (4%)
  • 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%)
  • It is illegal not to tell the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing (3%)
  • It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament wearing a suit of armour (3%)
  • Cortesía de Emilie, que ni ayer ni hoy tuvo que ir al curro por huelga a la francesa, las leyes más ridículas del Reino Unido. Alguien tendría una lista parecida para un país en el que hacer un dibujo cuesta 6000€, y se ponen por las nubes los inaceptables malos modos de alguien cuyo concepto de diversión es matar a un oso borracho.

    Por cierto, hoy es más pertinente que nunca gritar que han matado a Kenny, hijos de puta…
