...or play music or computer games, well make "noise" basically. A couple of years ago was blasting Il-2 on my system and found a nice note in my mailbox from a neighbour to stop "watching TV" so late. :down: Thank goodness for earphones.

Not quite true.

In a case where two laws conflict the purpetrator is allways found innocent in the UK.

In that case Scotsmen better watchout in York on sundays.....sorry mean't Welshmen in Hereford, within the boundraies of the cathederal.....now wheres my crossbow! LOL!

Joking aside though, some archaic laws do raise their heads from time to time, I think about 50yrs ago someone was actually charged with witchcraft laws! But I'm a little hazy about the details of that.

Another point to make is that many archaic and odd laws are bylaws which IIRC have a lower status than common law, I think.

Common Laws are those that are made via the decision/judgement/finding of a judge.
Statutory Laws are those that are passed by Statutes (Acts of Parliament)

In South Korea, traffic policemen are required to report all bribes that they receive from motorists.

In Sweden, prostitution is legal but it is illegal to use the services of a prostitute.

In Thailand, it is illegal to leave your house without wearing underwear.

Hunting with a rifle is permitted in Norfolk County, Virgina - provided that the hunter is fifteen feet off the ground.

In St. Louis, it's illegal to sit on the curb of any city street and drink beer from a bucket.

Women in Joliet, Illinois, can be arrested for trying on more than six dresses in one store.

Ready my Huey! It's wabbit season.
