He has no sole

Well not quite right. Every Englishman has duty to practice his skills with a long now Any Scotsman who is killed by a long now in pursuance of the law is protected by that law for the offense of murder.

This should also apply to French people. We should ask for an amendment.

Just tell them I sent you

@@AdventuresAndNaps i absolutely will :) Before heading off for a daytrip to York.

Gary Parsons See, you couldn’t do that in America. You’d have a bill to pay after coming out of the ER 😐 At least we can get beat up for free 😬

Gary: DON'T wear the Wetherspoon's uniform: it's almost identical to police clothing - except the protective gear.

There's no such thing as a citizen's arrest any more. In the UK there it's now comes under section 24a of the police and criminal act 1984 which is - Arrest without warrant: other persons 1) A person other than a constable may arrest without a warrant. Calling it a citizens arrest is wrong, imagine you're not a citizen and you see a crime, you now don't have a power of arrest. Also it's an offence to be drunk in a public place, but its not really enforced unless your being a bit of a idiot, then it's usually Drunk and disorderly. (Every person found drunk in any highway or other public place, whether a building or not, or on any licensed premises, shall be liable to a penalty) :D

its very unfortunate that a man was actually killed for it look up Jean Charles de Menezes

@@JJDarkside101 He was running from the police as he thought they were after him as his visa had expired. I know who he is.

What you on about. The police raid pubs all the time.

Not really, its just the formatting. Every previous law still exists but has an asterix next to it saying "except no" etc and various Acts of Parliament, whichever is the most recent, will superceed whatever. So the legality of raping your spouse, for instance (which wasn't a crime 30 years ago) would technically still have a line about your spouse being your being your property, but various acts or law since will then say "except they're not your property" etc. That's just the way laws are written. They don't delete stuff, they just add clarifications at the bottom. If they wanted to make your spouse your property again then that would require a new act of parliament to say "they're your property again".

TheSwiftAssassin 7105 no, but most pubs will stop serving alcohol to patrons that are obviously drunk

@@rubysoffner4557 The pub will be breaking the law serving a drink to someone who is drunk so they might be disinclined to accuse anyone they have served of being drunk

Like being able to (though it'd be murder of course that's trump this one of course) used to least legally speaking could kill a Scot in York as long as it was within the city walls and had to be specifically with a crossbow, or so I have been told, not sure if that law even exists still.

The Old ones are the BEST :-))

So funny thanks

Boom nice

I feel sorry for Charles, his only purpose in life is to wait for his mother to die. He is in his 70's and his career has yet to start.

@@AdventuresAndNaps Yes! Off with their head!

The Polish potato thing (it's a disease control measure) seems pretty sensible to me, not at all weird - you try carrying organic products into Australia and see how far you get, draconian as Oz laws might seem, they're there for a good reason. PS/ I (a Scot) have been in York on a Sunday & other days too and I live to tell the tale ;)

The potato law is very serious, it could wipe out the entire potato crop. The Colorado beetle destroyed the potato crop and was supposedly responsible for a million deaths in the 18 century.

Political Correctness gone mad, lol

It's not just London cab drivers It's any hackney carriage driver throughout the UK. This law was brought In sometime around about 18th century when taxis were driven by horses And not cars.That's the reason they had to have a baler of hay and a bucket of water. Furthermore if you look around certain places throughout the UK you will still find a drinking well for horses Which were mainly used by horses carrying passengers.

Also the cab driver is permitted to urinate onto the front wheel so he can prevent his horse from bolting.

Nick Page whaaaat !

Well, that was for the Dobbins, in the age if horses and carriages, you see.

I believe this one was removed sometime in the mid-90's.

I always stand on the right and put my suitcase on the left - just to annoy them

@@stevetaylor8698 It has actually been proven that if people stand on both the right and left it improves throughput. Unfortunately there is no arguing with tradition.

Phew, had me worried for a minute there.

@Astir01 Presumably :)

That's incredible!

Except for Special Ops the regular POLICE in the UK are un-armed (dont know if they carry tasers, etc?) Armed miscreants would be arrested immediately or warned ( very sternly) to leave the premises immediately as they may upset some of the patrons. No "SECOND AMENDMENT" in the UK.

@@Frank-mm2yp You're sort of correct Frank. Because of our strict gun laws it's not necessary for our officers to regularly carry firearms. But, most towns and cities will have officers armed with electroshock devices.

That's so kind, thank you!!

Partially repealed in 1863. finally repealed in 1960.

@@stephenphillip5656 Took them long enough eh ;)

In effect, this is where the American "_Right to bear arms_" comes from; much of American law was copied from English law of the time. English peasants were required to keep a longbow and practice on Sunday afternoon, maybe enforced by the local vicar. The thousands of rapid firing, long range bowmen, e.g. at The Battle of Hastings -1066, were not regular soldiers. As _Snag Prophet _ says above, UK laws are often 'repealed' or modified by further acts. The UK does not have a written Constitution; many in the USA defend their Constitution as *fact*, much as many, worldwide, believe that their Bible, Qran, Torah etc. are the literal truth and the word of their God / Deity.

@@TheAlanSaunders They were required to practice archery on a Sunday so that they could spend the rest of the week in York, looking for Scotsmen! (PS:- Were the Scots women spared?)

As long as they don't meet there for knife practice, instead!

Brilliant!

Shawn W, that's funny!!!! "Madam, please push the pram ONLY in the streets. I shan't tell you again..."

@@heyokaempath5802 I know right ! 🤣

Actually this is completely true. The only wheeled vehicle allowed on the pavement is an invalid carriage. Everything else is illegal.

Shaun W. I think the last labour government repealed all these odd laws in 2010. However I think it’s still illegal to have a wheeled vehicle on the pavement ( push chairs, skateboards, bikes, etc) not sure about wheelchairs though. I’m sure the government will still try to screw them as much as possible ....

@@hairyairey Crikey, I just had visions of somebody driving an old Invacar on the footpath! 🤣

Julian Fogg unfortunately that’s just a myth and not a real law

@@simpleyak - But a Carter could urinate in the street so long as he was touching the rearmost wheel of his wagon. My father b:1921 claimed that Draymen, Milkmen etc. would urinate under cover of their apron whilst sat in the driving seat, "Everyone thought it was the horse"!

......and Hansom cab drivers were allowed to urinate against a wheel of their vehicle. Not sure if that's still in force.

Nope, not a law at all.

@@keithclements5148 wouldn't that make the wheel slippery when turning it.

Call the police!!

Were you carrying it, "suspiciously"?

Was it imported from Poland?

@Kernal Scott 2 That would definitely make more sense. 😂

@Kernal Scott 2 Yep. I'm a Welshman, and can confirm we invented the longbow, 5 centuries before the English started using them. I saw a docu a few years ago that talked about skeletons being found of Welsh warriors, and one side of their skeletons had much more bone mass than the other side, this was discoverd to be due to the strength required to draw a longbow, so much that it actually changed the physical shape of their bodie and skeletons (People in those days would train all day, every day from a very young age). We also gave the World the word "penguin" (From the Welsh "Pen (head) - Gwyn" (white), or "white head"). You're welcome. 😁

It is a law here in the North East of England that you are allowed to kick a belligerent Scotsman in the Trossachs if he follows you around the railway station screaming give me some money you English bastard, there are no restrictions in fact its advised that Sundays are the best days to do it.

Thank you so much!!

Although the exact date when the English" Parliament" was created is a matter of historian quibble (1215 usually being one of the earliest dates), the consensus is that it began in the 13th century when Knights and some ordinary soldiers still did wear body armor.

I get too embarrassed so I go for "tutting" instead

The only ones who seem to do it in shops are Eastern Europeans-don''t think they have lines in their countries. Have seen English people try it on in the doctors surgery line outside though.

Grab them by the shoulders and throw them, gently to the ground, after all, we are not animals like them . Yet.

Physical violence is no answer to bad manners, my mother and grand mother said. Wrong. It is wrong to be told how to think and what to do next. Get angry and don't take crap from morons

@@AdventuresAndNaps Last time it happened was when I was stood waiting patiently in line at a Subway for ten minutes. A guy came through the door, shouted to his friend who was in front of me, walked past the line and then went into the toilets. He exited the toilets just as it was my turn to go up to the counter, stepped in front of me and proceeded to order. Giving him a "Tut" wouldn't have been enough as he was obviously an arsehole. 'What do you think you're doing?' 'Ordering some food.' 'Yeah, but you came in, went to the toilet and then jumped the line!' 'No I didn't.' 'Yes you f**king did you prick and you know full well that you did.' 'No need to be like that, mate.' '1. I'm not your mate and I never will be. 2. You haven't just skipped ahead of me, what about all these other people behind me?' (the people behind were in "Tut-Mode" trying not to get involved) Everything that he proceeded to order I called him a c**t for. 'Enjoy that Italian bread, you c**t', 'Enjoy that cucumber, you c**t', 'Trying to ignore me now are you? You c**t.', 'Enjoy that sweetcorn, you c**t.' etc. (I also very rarely use the "C word", especially around women) His face was redder than a tomato from embarrasment by the time he left. I wouldn't recommend such a tactic for you though. I'm big enough and ugly enough to handle myself if things did get violent.

It was more like "get your $#!@ and GO." I had followed behind a car, so it tripped off the drive thru alarm. That day, there was a big sign that said "for guests in vehicles only," so my best friend and I went back with her little brother's Big Wheel and Cozy Coupe. They threatened to call the po-po.

@@RiverMersey The BBC did a very good expose of how dangerous their policy was - where someone not on the scene gives the order for lethal force. Not even the IDF do that.

Technically the death penalty was abolished in May 1999 (with no publicity) with the ratification of protocol 6 of the ECHR. In reality, trigger happy armed police officers...

@@hairyairey yes, I do remember that program - and to be fair to the officers who were tracing their suspect, they did report that they lost contact. Despite that, live incident room (remote from the action) instructed the officers to guess who and where the suspect was. Eventually, JCdM was misidentified as the suspect and shot dead on a London tube train

@@RiverMersey problem I have was the order to shoot was given before he was identified as a threat. The buck-passing is extraordinary.
