Hilarious Laws and a Palace necklace

This one is Holyrood Palace, founded as a monastery by David I of Scotland in 1128, it has served as the principal residence of the Kings and Queens of Scotland since the 15th century. The Palace stands in bonnie Edinburgh at the bottom of the Royal Mile.

A few of the most ridiculous British laws...

# 1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament

# 2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British king or queen's image upside-down

# 3. It is illegal for a woman to be topless in Liverpool except as a clerk in a tropical fish store

# 4. Eating mince pies on Christmas Day is banned

# 5. If someone knocks on your door in Scotland and requires the use of your toilet, you are required to let them enter

# 6. In the UK a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet

# 7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen

# 8. 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

# 9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament wearing a suit of armour

# 10. It is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls of York, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow

I just love number 7.
