The law is an ass

I've just come back from a whole day of annual leave that was supposed to leave me refreshed and ready to dig into my last weeks of work. But instead, I feel like I do most mornings - horrendous.

Luckily, my pal Tane sent me something kind of funny to fill in the first half hour of work while I wake up.

The UK's top 10 most ridiculous laws:
1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament

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. 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
