I suppose that means it's OK as long as you do it during the hours of daylight LOL.
 
In Chester and Shrewsbury it's apparently still legal to shoot Welsh men with a bow and arrow under certain circumstances.
 
The old story about London taxi cabs being required to carry a bale of hay is more of an urban myth (the original Hackney carriages were horse drawn).
 
One rather baffling bye law in the UK which is still in force - at least it's still prominently posted on signs listing relevant bye laws - forbids you to repair a chair on Hampstead Heath. The dark days when the phantom furniture restorer of old London town brought terror to the streets have not been forgotten, and the infamy of the Whitechapel re-upholsterer lives on to this very day Wink.

I saw something similar to this a long time ago.  I always get a kick out of some of these crazy laws.

One law that I remember which I think was in Flint, Michigan, was that it was illegal to tie your alligator up to a fire hydrant.
 
The most ironic law was/is the one where it was/is illegal to attempt suicide; attempted suicide is a crime punishable by death.  So if you try it and fail, the government will finish the job for you.Shocked  I can't remember when or where this was from but it always kind of stuck in my mind.

Quote 51)
Donald Duck comics were once banned in Finland because he never wore pants.


I must say I'm 99% sure this is completely made up, being the owner of the nr.1 comic of Donald Duck in Finnish which just happens to be the most popular comic in Finland (Donald Duck) and has been as long as I can remember and longer even.

Oh I have numerous reasons not to believe in any of these! But I'll restrain.

Oh my God! Last time I was on Hampstead Heath, I carried out some running repairs to an old wicker chair which I happened to have with me at the time. I hope there were no CCTV cameras around!
