Lord Noel Says "It's The Law!"

Whatto! Peeps....

As someone who is a great believer in 'Law & Order' I was delighted to find a very useful book available on obscure law's throughout the world. It is published by Michael O’Mara, at £4.99 and I will take it with me when I travel to avoid being arrested.
It is unlawful to ride a bicycle without a licence in Israel.
In Italy a man may be arrested for wearing a skirt.
In Scotland it is against the law to be drunk in possession of a cow 
In England impersonating a Chelsea Pensioner is illegal.
In Switzerland it is illegal to hang your washing out on a Sunday. 
Boston, Massachusetts where it is illegal to kiss in front of church!
In Denver, Colorado it is considered unlawful to lend your vacuum cleaner to your next-door neighbour.
Every fifth song on Canadian radio must be by a Canadian-born citizen, which means Celine Dion and Bryan Adams get played very often.
In Holland it is illegal to sell beer and wine on Sunday, but mixed drinks are available by the glass.
In France it is a crime for an owner of pig to call his swine Napoleon.
In Iceland it is permissable for anyone to practice medicine as long as he/she displays a sign that reads Scottulaejnir, which translates as 'quack doctor' .
All Englishmen over 14 years old are meant to carry out about two hours of longbow practice a week under the supervision of the local clergy.
In Singapore, if convicted of dropping litter three times, the law-breaker has to clean the streets on Sundays wearing a sign saying, 'I am a litterer'. This punishment will then be broadcast on the local news
In Lidenhurst, USA it is illegal for a woman to give a man a perm.
In Oklahoma City it is against the law to throw snowballs. 
In Lebanon men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death.
On St. Patrick's Day in Ireland it is illegal to carry a swiss roll in your trouser pocket.


Tallyho!
