    4. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter ... Well aren't you Scots nice
    5. In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet ... Okay why?
    6. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen
    7. 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
    8. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour ...Who goes around waring a suit of armour anyways?
    9. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow.
