In 1553 Edward the VI enacted a law that states it is actually illegal to stand within 100 yards of the Queen sockless.  If you ever find you are planning a trip to see the Queen remember to take some socks and a spare pair just in case!

If you are ever in Scotland and you find yourself needing to use the toliet, don’t worry, according to the law you can knock on any householder in Scotland and the law states that they are obliged to let you use their toliet should you need it.

However, we don’t recommend you try this!

As time goes on laws change on a regular basis, however, did you know that that in 1657, Cromwell’s Law states that it’s illegal to eat Mince Pies anywhere in England on Christmas Day so it begs the question, how many people this year will break the law!
