My friend Sarah sent me a link to this article in The Times Online entitled The World’s Strangest Laws.
You might want to have a look, because it’s a lot of fun.
My favourites are:
#12. In London, Freemen are allowed to take a flock of sheep across London Bridge without being charged a toll; they are also allowed to drive geese down Cheapside
I can just imagine this! I’d certainly love to see a shepherd taking his flock across London Bridge, not to mention a lovely maiden driving her geese…
It me of a story my friend Catherine told me about when she was in Scotland and she saw this threatening sign, that said Beware, RAM!
And she kept wondering where that ram was and if it was dangerous. It turned out there was a missing P!
There’s also number #2.
