Things to Make You go Hmmm! - Make sure you are not Breaking the Law

Now these facts will really startle you if they don't make you stay in bed for the rest of your life in a place of safety..........or is it!!!

There are many things which are illegal.  I know you might say, obviously if you were to shoplift or break the speed limit you might not be surprised to find yourself on the wrong side of the law.  But what if you weren't even aware you were breaking a law in the first place?

A lady who was lost driving her car in the UK did a very sensible thing.  She saw a parked police car and thought that is an ideal person to help me.  She safely parked her car behind the police car to ask directions.  Once out of her car the parked up policeman got out of his vehicle and promptly arrested her for parking in a bus stop - yes those of us who live in the UK should know this fact.

If you live in London, UK according to the 1839 motropolitan police act is is an offence which can result in a hefty fine today amounting to £200 if you beat your carpet in the street.  As a special dispensation, door mats are an exception to this rule providing they are beaten before 8am.

Two young Mum's were threatened with prosecution because they were quite unknowingly breaking the law.  How? They had been looking after each others daughters for 2 days a week- unpaid.  The crime - they had not registered their "supposed" business with the authorities.  If you have been breaking the law in this way  you can now relax because after a massive outcry the rules were reversed by ministers making it legal to have you children looked after for free by a friend.

Any football clubs who charge for entry into a game on Sunday is, in fact, breaking the law.  Why? because under the 1780 British law it is illegal for a house, room or an other area to be used for public entertainment if a fee has been charged.  Ooops! who wants the job of taking on FA (Football Association)

Not sure if this is actually legal or not but lets get a petition to get John Cleese arrested for brutaly beating his car, screaming like a maniac on the public highway, destroying perfectly good trees and having an offensive car  none of which is illegal but parking on the pavement is actually illegal.
