What's sad is that these laws are probably in place for a reason, i.e. some one did it and had a problem with it.

Illegal for a man to give his sweetheart a box of candy weighing less than fifty pounds.

IIRC, In Chester (just on the English side of the England-Wales border), it's illegal to be Welsh in the town centre.

Erm, next time I go I'll stop being Welsh then...

[Immortal Wombat]

No it is legal, but it's also legal for an Englishman to shoot them with a longbow in aforementioned town centre.

[geeslaka]

Aren't the Welsh traditionally better with the longbow?

[Dinner]

I remember Laz mentioning an English city which had a law were it was legal to shot Welshmen if the Welshman was found in the city after such and such time at night.

Does it state exactly what Equipment the Bow may possess?
I mean, do you have to do it by Barebowshooting, or are you allowed to use modern Archery Equipment like Stabilizers, Clicker and modern Sights on your Longbow to shoot him?

In Newcastle it’s illegal to have sex in a fridge room (?) in a slaughterhouse
